South Bend, Ind. – Prepare your cameras and set your alarms! A stunning celestial show is set to light up the northern skies on Wednesday, as the Aurora Borealis, better known as the northern lights, makes an unexpected appearance across parts of the United States.

Typically reserved for the far northern reaches of Alaska, Canada, and Scandinavia, the northern lights are about to extend their ethereal glow to southern latitudes, thanks to a significant geomagnetic storm triggered by a recent solar event. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), this cosmic disturbance will allow the auroras to dance across the skies of Wisconsin, North Dakota, South Dakota, Michigan, Montana, Minnesota, Maine, and the northernmost corners of New York.

As the storm peaks, the northern lights will be most visible around 4 a.m. Wednesday morning. This rare opportunity for many to witness the mesmerizing waves of green, pink, and violet stretching across the horizon is not to be missed. Stargazers should find a dark spot with minimal light pollution for the best view.

This celestial event promises to transform the night sky into a canvas of natural wonder, bridging the gap between Earth and the cosmos. For those in the northern reaches, it’s a chance to embrace the grandeur of the universe from your own backyard.
