Early Tuesday morning, residents in the far northern United States will have another opportunity to witness the spectacular display of the aurora borealis.
According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the skies over Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan, Maine, and upstate New York may be treated to mesmerizing light displays as a result of the influx of charged particles from the sun.
The chances of witnessing the majestic aurora dancing in the sky are approximately 30 percent to 50 percent. The northernmost regions have the highest probability of catching a glimpse of this breathtaking phenomenon. For those eager to witness this awe-inspiring display, the best time to look out is around 3:15 a.m. EDT when the views of the aurora will be at their peak.
If you find yourself farther south, you might have the chance to capture glimpses of the aurora by simply pointing your phone towards the sky and snapping some pictures.
