Northern lights spawned by solar storm could be visible over several states tonight

Published June 2, 2025 8:57pm ET



Several states will likely be able to view the northern lights on Monday night due to a unique atmospheric phenomenon.

A coronal mass ejection from the sun resulted in a Sunday storm alert, followed by another one that will hit Earth on Monday. Aside from minor high-frequency radio disruptions, the event is better known for causing aurora borealis sightings farther south than usual. The display could be visible over all or part of 15 states.
