What else can I help you with?
From where can you see the Aurora Borealis?
The aurora borealis, usually called the northern lights are easiest to see if you are inside the arctic circle. So you would have to go to places such as northern Scandinavia or north Canada to see them. However if there is a strong solar storm they become visible further south. You can usually see the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) from any Polar region. There are also the Southern Lights (Aurora Australis) which can be seen from southern regions. They show in Alaska. You can ocasionally see them from northern US like I did last night
How come the closer you get to the equator the less you see northern lights?
You don't often see auroras near the equator because the lights occur above the magnetic poles, so the Northern Lights are more often seen from northern latitudes in Canada, Greenland, Iceland, Northern Europe and Russia, and Alaska in the US. If the aurora is very spectacular it can be seen closer to the equator, but hugely spectacular auroras don't occur very often.
Can you see the northern lights from somewhere in Alaska?

Where is the best place to see the northern lights from the continental us?
The further North you travel the better chance you will have of seeing them. It is dependant on Solar flares. The closer you are to the North Pole, the better. The Northern Lights can however be seen from a great distance from the North Pole. Northern parts of Europe or Canada would be particularly good, preferably in a rural area, away from light pollution.
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.
Is Alaska the only state in the us to have the northern lights?

Im from Colorado and no northern lights appear in Colorado, trust me, im pretty sure.
