Sunspot observations, a crucial predictor of the probability of seeing the Northern Lights, also known as the Aurora Borealis, have substantially grown since the end of 2022.
The Northern Lights are a natural light display that occurs in the earth's polar regions. The high-latitude areas close to the North Pole, which include Norway, Sweden, Finland, Iceland, Canada, Alaska , and Russia, are where the Northern Lights are most frequently seen. However, scientists reported tothat the most recent Northern Lights were seen Monday as far south as Minnesota and Wisconsin in the US.
These charged particles strike gas molecules like oxygen and nitrogen as they enter the atmosphere of the earth. These collisions cause the release of energy in the form of vivid photons, or light particles, which produce the stunning light displays. The Northern Lights form an oval-shaped ring around the magnetic poles of the earth. The auroral oval shifts in response to solar activity, with more intense displays occurring during periods of high solar activity or solar storms.The possibility of witnessing the Northern Lights in a certain area can be determined by using aurora forecast services such as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
