The latest Northern Lights forecast means the aurora borealis may be seen in the continental U.S. tonight after space weather ...

Aurora borealis is one of the coolest astronomical events that we can see with the naked eye. It makes the sky glow beautiful colors, and auroras are just random enough to be exciting occurrences. But ...

Aurora chasers are on high alert for possible geomagnetic storm conditions from March 4 to March 5. Northern lights possible at mid-latitudes.

Most of the time, the Earth and Sun’s magnetic fields are misaligned, leaving our planet’s field less open to the aurora-causing effects of the solar wind. However, towards the equinox, the two fields ...

High-speed winds from a spot on the sun’s surface may affect Earth’s magnetic field, pulling the phenomenon further south.

Here’s how it works. Every second, phenomena known as "auroral electrojets" that stem from solar activity push about a million amps of electrical charge around Earth's poles — and that ...

High above Earth's poles, intense electrical currents called electrojets flow through the upper atmosphere when auroras glow in the sky. These auroral electrojets push about a million amps of ...

The northern lights, or aurora borealis, occur when energetic particles from the sun—released through processes like solar wind and coronal mass ejections (CMEs)—collide with Earth’s atmosphere.

Usually, the Northern Lights are visible in Norway, Sweden, Finland, Iceland, Greenland, Canada, the north of American state Alaska and northern Siberia in Russia. They are rarely seen in the UK.
