People in 17 states got their hopes up about seeing the northern lights this week, only to be disappointed when the forecast changed. Instead of the aurora borealis being visible in more than a dozen states, experts changed their forecasts to include only a handful. If you missed the northern lights where you live, here are some photos captured in the places they were visible.
Earlier this week, the University of Alaska's Geophysical Institute forecast that the lights would be visible in Alaska, South Dakota, Wisconsin, Michigan and Maine.
Some people said they were able to see them in other states, including Washington, Minnesota and Montana, which were included in the original forecast — although in some cases, the lights were faint and barely visible to the naked eye.
