Alaska

Alaska is the only state in the United States where you can find the Aurora Borealis, or "northern lights". These lights can be seen 243 days out of the year in Fairbanks, Alaska. Northern lights are produced because electrically charged particles cause gases in the upper atmosphere to light up in the northern skies of Alaska.
Here is a video to give you a better perspective of what these amazing lights really look like.
