They are normally only visible inthe sub-arctic and arctic regions. There is much mystery as to what causes them. Somewhat oddly they do not normally interfere with radio traffic but did cause some tuning problems ( which were compensated for by switching in resistances and compensations) in transatlantic telegraph message cables such as those at the French Cable station. The route of the cables was not in arctic waters. still things happen, the world turns. At one time in the late thrities the Aurora Borealis was visible in the New York Metro area- and the weather was cooperative an aunt of mine saw it. she said it looked like a barrage of distant strobe lights vaguely reddish on a movie screen or curtain. For some reason the phenomenon did not photograph. interesting question. the scientific name literally means Northern Dawn, as Aurora was the goddess of the Dawn.

There isn't really any way to predict when the aurora borealis will be visible, or where. We do know that auroras are more common during the active part of the solar cycle, which ought to be in about 4 years, and are more common at higher latitudes.

But auroras have been visible this year, which is an extended solar minimum, and have been visible as far south as Florida and Mexico.

All I can suggest is, keep your eyes open for it any evening. To see some nice galleries of aurora photos, visit spaceweather.com.

All year long, although the most active months are March and September. It all has to do with how the geomagnetic weather is.

The spring and autumnal equinoxes are the best time to see the aurora.

Yes. Its not likely for you to see them though. The Northern Lights occur around 4% of all nights in that area. And remember you can't see them if it's cloudy.

When was the Aurora Borealis last seen in UK?

The Aurora Borealis has not been seen in the UK since 2005. However now (2010) we are moving into a time of increased solar storm activity, so there will be more displays of the Northern and Southern Auroras in the next few years. Chances of seeing them in the UK are about 10%. See the video at the attached link


When can you see the next Aurora borealis?

Unfortunately, auroras don't occur on a schedule. Aurora borealis are generally associated with coronal mass ejections from the Sun. They are normally visible in northern latitudes above about 40 degrees north, so Canada and the northern US are the best observing locations, plus northern Europe, Iceland, and the northern parts of Russia and Siberia. You can often get a 1-2 day advance notice on spaceweather.com.


What would be the right year to see northern light 2012 or 2013?

The aurora borealis activity increases & decreases on an 11 year cyle, which next peaks in 2013. So, we are getting close to the peak even right now. See the related link for more detailed forecast information.

When was the aurora borealis seen in west Virginia?

When I was attending college in Athens, West Virginia (Concord College) I witness the Northern Lights one evening when returning to my dorm. It was awesome - like a curtain of light that had fluency and many colors. The next day my physics professor said there was a phenomenon the night before and the Northern Lights were visible in West Virginia.

What effects do solar flares have on the solar maximum emission?

Solar maximum is a period of time in which solar flares are more common and more powerful. Sometimes there are coronal emissions that send a massive amount of plasma hurling through space at speeds close to or over one million miles an hour. All they really do is cause the Aurora Borealis (northern lights), however if the earth were to be hit hard enough that the plasma overwhelms the magnetic field it could strip away our atmosphere and earth would be as livable as Mars. The next solar maximum cycle will begin in 2012. Astronomers believe that it will be the most powerful cycle ever seen. So starting in October of 2012 go outside and look for the Aurora Borealis. Last time we had a maximum such as this the lights were seen as far south as Rome, Italy.
