According to NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center, the tracker indicates that Monday and Tuesday nights, December 30th and December 31st, might be vibrant due to the sun's plasma bursts, which can result in the celestial spectacle.
Per the Associated Press, the lucky states that will catch an Instagrammable moment on Monday and Tuesday include: Alaska, Washington, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine.
But fear not: If NYC isn't lucky enough to witness the Northern Lights before we kiss 2024 goodbye, there's still plenty to look forward to: Up to 200 meteors per hour can be seen while the Quadrantids Meteor gets underway on January 2nd.
Then, later in the month, a rare planetary alignment will be visible to the naked eye, and you'll be able to see six celestial bodies. We're all feeling a little astronomically in-tune now!
