The Northern Lights: When and Where to See Them
The Aurora Forecast Model
The Northern Lights are a natural light display in the sky, caused by the interaction of charged particles from the sun with the Earth's magnetic field. The lights are seen above the magnetic poles of the Earth, and can be seen in a variety of colors, including green, red, blue, and purple.
How to See the Northern Lights
The best time to see the Northern Lights is during the winter months, when the nights are longer and the sky is darker. The lights are also more likely to be seen during periods of high solar activity, such as during solar storms.
To see the Northern Lights, you need to find a location with clear skies and no light pollution. You should also be patient, as the lights can take some time to appear.
The OVATION Aurora Forecast Model
The OVATION Aurora Forecast Model is a tool that can help you predict when and where you are likely to see the Northern Lights. The model uses data from satellites and ground-based observatories to create a forecast of the aurora's location and intensity.
The OVATION Aurora Forecast Model is available online, and can be used to plan your aurora viewing trip.
