People in several northern U.S. states may be able to see aurora borealis, also know as the northern lights, on Tuesday night ahead of a minor geomagnetic storm that is set to hit. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)'s Space Weather Prediction Center has released its prediction for the aurora view line for Tuesday and Wednesday,

Aspiring viewers of the Northern Lights are encouraged to go as far north as possible, away from light pollution, and face the northern horizon. The best time to view the lights is between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. local time, and a high vantage point increases the likelihood of seeing the phenomena.

Aurora sightings may be possible if the skies are clear, according to forecaster, as it reveals how to maximise chances of seeing phenomenon

Auroral activity is best seen between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. local time while at a high vantage point away from light pollution, according to NOAA. If conditions are optimal, the northern lights could be seen as far as 620 miles away.

The northern lights may be visible in portions of Wisconsin on Friday and Saturday nights, according to the NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center. The SWPC's forecast indicates that aurora borealis could be visible as far south as central Wisconsin on Friday night and northern Wisconsin on Saturday night.
