9. Dez. 2016 · “Does the full moon lower my chances of seeing the Northern Lights?” The impact that the moon will have on your Northern Lights viewing experience depends on two things – the phase of the moon and the strength of the Aurora itself.

The northern lights, also called the aurora borealis, is the name given to the colorful, celestial light displays famous across the northern latitudes. They are most commonly seen in Northern Canada, Alaska, Northern Europe, and Russia.
The northern lights stem directly from the Sun's core, which is powered by intense nuclear activity. Periodically, this activity boils over and streams of electrically charged particles called plasma are released from the Sun and shot out into space. Some of them make their way to our planet. As they pummel the Earth's magnetic field, they get funn...
According to NASA, the aurora borealis was coined by Galileo Galilei in 1619 A.D. He named them after the Roman goddess of the dawn, Aurora. Other sources accredit the French philosopher and contemporary of Galileo, Pierre Gassendi,with coining the name, however. But the earliest recorded sighting of the aurora seems to have occurred in 2600 B.C.E....
The best time to see the aurora borealis is during the winter months, but in reality, the northern lights don't occur more often during any one season. Rather, the frequency and intensity of the lights is driven by the behavior of the Sun. “The seasonal variations that we see on Earth are just because that's where it's dark enough to see them,” Jod...
The northern lights aren't harmful to Earth, but the solar plasma that creates them can and does affect technological infrastructure. Because of this potential for harm, there’s an entire industry dedicated to tracking “space weather,” the electromagnetic conditions in space around the Earth, usually driven by the Sun, Ream says. “It can disrupt co...
Yes. The southern lights are called the "aurora australis," and they are created in the same way as northern lights. The land near the north pole is significantly more populated than the land nearest the south pole, so more people see the northern lights. In reality, the southern lights happen just as frequently, and they are just as spectacular.
The short answer is yes. University of Leicester space scientist Jonathan Nichols, tells Inverse:“Any planet with a large magnetic field and a significant atmosphere has auroras. In our solar system, that's Earth, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.” Aurora-like activity has also been reported on Mars, Nichols says. This is surprising, because ou...
To see the aurora borealis, you need to be in the right place at the right time and have the correct viewing conditions. The best time to see the northern lights are on dark, clear nights in the winter months and close to a New Moon. Generally, from September to April are the best viewing months. To ensure you get the best from this natural light s...
Real-time auroral and solar activity. 9:13:10 UTC. Aurora forecast Help. Probability forecast. Kp-index forecast. Predicted Kp-indices. Below you'll find the expected global geomagnetic conditions (Kp) and those for the middle and high latitudes (K-indices).
We’ve discussed this issue with numerous Northern Lights guides and photographers and the consensus is that a full moon only impacts on a weak Auroral display and only when it is directly, or almost directly, behind that display.
12. Mai 2024 · The predominance of a dark new moon that began May 7 could clear the stage once again for the northern lights to shine. The moon is about one-fifth full this weekend, according to NASA....
At this geomagnetic activity level, it might be possible to see the aurora from the northern edge of the United States. For Kp in the range 8 to 9, the aurora will move even further towards the equator and it will become very bright and very active.
Aurora borealis activity is currently moderately low. Weather permitting, northern lights displays could be visible directly overhead in some northern communities and visible toward the northern horizon from slightly lower northern latitudes.
