The northern lights — also called aurora borealis — could be visible in Alaska, Washington, Montana, North Dakota, Minnesota, Michigan, Maine, northern parts of Idaho, Wyoming, Iowa, New York, Vermont and New Hampshire.

According to the NOAA, 24 states, including Alaska, Montana and North Dakota, might have a chance to see the northern lights June 1 and June 2.

NOAA recommends traveling to an unobstructed, high vantage point away from light pollution and facing north between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. local time. The agency noted the best seasons to see auroral activity are between the spring and fall equinoxes.
