A geomagnetic storm could make aurora borealis—or the northern lights—visible across parts of the United States overnight Tuesday. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Space Weather Prediction Center forecast that the northern lights could be visible in up to 16 states.

People in states like Washington, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine could see the northern lights, according to NOAA's aurora viewline map.

Another dazzling display of northern lights could be visible tonight with the prediction of a minor geomagnetic storm, according to space weather experts.
