While not precisely an "image of the day", it is an interesting event supported by an image.
Tonight is going to be a better than normal night for the Aurora / Northern Lights, according to this site that I watch. They could be visible as far south as southern Illinois, but not as likely. Given a clear night, though, all of Minnesota should get a good show as well as the northern parts of other northern states.
Given how quiet our sun is right now, it might not be
spectacular, but there should definitely be something to look at if you're in the right region.
Note that this is just a Forecast, and is not a sure thing. But this site has been pretty accurate in the past.
