Residents of Central Illinois are in for a unique spectacle as the Northern Lights may be visible in the region tonight, courtesy of a severe solar storm. According to experts, the aurora borealis, typically reserved for higher latitudes, could extend its reach southwards due to the intensity of the current geomagnetic activity.
Skywatchers in the area are encouraged to head to locations away from light pollution for the best viewing experience.
