A NOAA forecast suggest that Northern Lights may be visible in northern U.S. states on Jan. 20, 2026. Here's where aurora displays are possible.
Northern lights were reported across mid-latitudes, with sightings stretching from Germany to the southwestern United States, including New Mexico, during a night of rapidly fluctuating geomagnetic conditions that fluctuated between G1, G2, G3 and G4 storm levels.
Skywatchers across Colorado may get a rare treat Monday night as increased solar activity could push the northern lights far enough south to become visible in parts of the state with a Kp value of 8 out of 9.
Photographers in Cumbria turned their cameras to the sky as the Northern Lights made an appearance in the county during breaks in the cloud. Known as the Aurora Borealis, the bright colours are a result of solar eruptions sending particles towards the Earth and interacting with particles in the atmosphere.
