Portland, ME – Maine residents have a rare opportunity to view the northern lights tonight and tomorrow, as an ongoing geomagnetic storm brings the aurora borealis into clearer view. This natural spectacle, typically visible in far northern regions, is expected to light up skies across the state.
According to the Space Weather Prediction Center, the best viewing will occur in northern and rural areas, such as Acadia National Park and the northernmost parts of the state. Clear skies are forecasted, improving the chances for a stunning display.
Experts recommend watching between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m., with rural areas offering the best opportunity to avoid light pollution. Residents should look toward the northern horizon to catch a glimpse of the vibrant lights.
This rare chance to see the northern lights in Maine is expected to draw stargazers out to witness the colorful sky, which may feature glowing greens, reds, and purples.
