NASA plans to fly two rockets through active auroras and study the unique ribbons of light that dance across the Alaskan night sky.
Northern Lights Forecast: Aurora Borealis May Be Seen In More States Tonight—Here’s Where
The agency expects a minor or greater geomagnetic storm—a disturbance of Earth’s magnetic field—on Saturday, which increases the likelihood of northern lights displays being visible to more people, as the effects of a recent coronal mass ejection reach Earth, according to NOAA’s three-day forecast.
Northern lights forecast: Auroras may be visible in more than a dozen northern US states
The colorful northern lights may reveal themselves to a wide swath of Americans Friday night due to an impending solar storm forecast to reach Earth.
Get your cameras ready! The northern lights could reach several US states tonight
A mid-level flare that erupted from the sun on January 22 could bring the northern lights to several US states over the weekend. NASA’s three-day forecast is predicting geomagnetic activity as high as KP 5.33 January 24 and 25, which could mean several US states as well as Canada could be in for a show tonight.
Northern Lights Forecast: Geomagnetic Storm Could Bring Aurora Borealis To These States Tonight
The effects of a coronal mass ejection—a bubble of plasma that bursts from the sun’s surface—will likely impact Earth’s magnetic field on Saturday, bringing the northern lights to several northern U.S. states, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
'Time to explore auroras deeply': NASA to send rockets directly into flickering Northern Lights – here's why
NASA has identified two types of auroras—fast-pulsating and flickering. Pulsating auroras flash on and off within seconds. Flickering auroras, however, pulse even faster, up to 15 times a second. Scientists want to investigate why auroras form "holes" or dark patches.
Northern lights may be visible in New Hampshire, Maine tonight. See map
The sun is currently at solar maximum, according to NASA, the peak of activity in its natural cycle, which is creating more opportunities to see the northern lights.
