If you missed the incredible light show from Mother Nature last night, you’re in luck. The aurora borealis, or northern lights, may be visible again tonight, November 12, and it could be an even more spectacular show. So charge up those cameras.

The northern lights made a rare appearance on November 11 with sightings reported as far south as Alabama and Florida, and as far northeast as New Jersey and Pennsylvania. If you didn’t stay up, or are heading out again to chase the aurora, you’ll have another chance tonight to see the sky aglow in dancing streams of color.

NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Centerreported in an updated forecast that another storm is on its way that could make for just as good of a show as last night. Based on the latestNOAA aurora forecast map, these17  statesappear fully or partially above the aurora view line.

The northern lights photos from around the U.S. this week blew our minds. Check out our favorite shots of the aurora from coast to coast.

York, Maine

The aurora borealis lit up the sky over Nubble Lighthouse in York, Maine last night. “This was a much stronger geomagnetic storm than I experienced a little over a year ago. The colors were super vibrant and clearly visible to the naked eye.” (Photo: Keith Viglione,  617images.com @617images)

Colorado Springs, Colorado

This week’s aurora was the brightest northern lights that Colorado has seen in years. “I still can’t believe this just happened—my very first Aurora Borealis, seen right from my own backyard in Colorado Springs. The sky erupted in shades of pink and green, and for a few quiet minutes, the world felt absolutely magical.” (Alex Stoen @alexstoen)

Monroe, Wisconsin

The aurora borealis lit up the night sky over Monroe, Wisconsin, on November 11, 2025, during one of the strongest solar storms in decades. The geomagnetic event pushed the northern lights deep into the continental U.S, with vibrant pink, red, and green hues illuminating rural farmsteads and open fields across the Midwest.

North Shore, Minnesota

“Massive red overhead aurora raining down from the sky during yesterday’s severe G4 solar storm produced some of the best northern lights that I have ever seen in my entire life. The sky was filled with an intense red corona, and the aurora spread in every direction.” (Photo: Tucker Olson @tuckolson)

Aspen, Colorado

If this photo doesn’t make you ready for winter I don’t know what will. Northern lights lit up the sky above Aspen this week, and photographer captioned her stunning shots with this perfect Frozen quote:  “The sky’s awake, so I’m awake, so we have to play!” (Jordan Curet @jcuret)

Lake Henshaw in San Diego, California

Northern lights in San Diego? “A bit late to the party, I started my shoot at 10 P.M. hoping to capture the lights glowing above one of my favorite places in the world. Car camping and all, I managed that and even got lucky with a lunar halo, with the aurora dancing on either side as the moon rose.” (Photo: Stan Moniz @stanmoniz)

Heber City, Utah

The northern lights made an appearance over Heber Valley, pictured, and much of Utah Tuesday night due to a rare geomagnetic storm. Utahns have been lucky to see the aurora a few times over the past two years due to heightened geomagnetic activity,especially on May 11, 2024, when Earth received its first G5 (extreme) storm in two decades.

Buffalo, South Dakota

“If you can believe it, this is looking south near Buffalo, South Dakota, and as the corona was absolutely ripping overhead with reds and greens, a big fireblall of a meteor ignighted across the sky right into frame.” (Photo Aaron Rigsby @aaronrigsby)

Blairsville, Georgia

Pictured are the northern lights over Lake Nottely, Georgia, on Tuesday night. “I couldn’t believe what I was seeing with the naked eye, but the long exposures off the camera were even more jaw-dropping. The fog across the surface of the lake that I illuminated with a flashlight during some of the long exposure photos made for some otherworldly scenes.” (Photo:Brandon Montgomery)
