Northern Lights Visible Across Illinois Amid Rare Geomagnetic Storm
Aurora Expected to Be Visible in 17 States This Week
Starved Rock State Park is a Prime Viewing Location
The Northern Lights, also known as the aurora borealis, are expected to be visible in parts of Illinois this weekend due to a rare geomagnetic storm.
The storm is expected to produce strong auroral activity, which could make the lights visible as far south as Chicago.
The best time to see the Northern Lights is between 9 p.m. and midnight. Starved Rock State Park is a prime viewing location, as it is far from light pollution.
If you're hoping to see the Northern Lights, be sure to check the weather forecast before you go. Clear skies are necessary for viewing.
