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.

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.

Why does the aurora borealis occur and what causes this stunning natural phenomenon in the night sky?

The aurora borealis occurs when charged particles from the sun collide with gases in Earth's atmosphere, creating colorful light displays. This natural phenomenon is caused by the Earth's magnetic field interacting with solar winds, resulting in the stunning light show in the night sky.
