It's good news for aurora chasers as peak auroral activity occurs a few years after solar maximum, according to Brekke. This means the best time to see the northern lights and the southern lights will be during the 2026-2027 aurora season.

Some states will have the chance to view aurora borealis Monday night before the forecast weakens later in the week.

There have been numerous opportunities for stargazers across the United States to see the northern lights this year. If you haven't seen them yet, there's another chance to spot the aurora borealis tonight,
