If you look up at the night sky Friday night, there’s a good chance you’ll be able to see the Northern Lights, also known as the Aurora Borealis.
People can see the Northern Lights right over the Massachusetts and Vermont-New Hampshire border, according to a map from the Space and Weather Prediction Center.
People should look north between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. to see the lights, according to the Boston Globe.
