See Northern Lights in Edmonton and Maine This Weekend
When and where to see the aurora
The aurora borealis, also known as the northern lights, is a natural light display in the sky, primarily visible at high latitude regions (around the Arctic and Antarctic). It is caused by the interaction of charged particles from the solar wind with the Earth's atmosphere. The resulting light display is a mesmerizing spectacle of colors, often seen as curtains or sheets of light dancing across the sky.
Edmonton, Alberta
According to WEB Aurora Forecast, a website that provides a real-time monitor of geomagnetic activity, there is a high chance of seeing the aurora in the Edmonton area this weekend. The best time to view the aurora is typically between 11 pm and 2 am, when the sky is darkest. The SWPC (Space Weather Prediction Center) expects the geomagnetic storm to peak late Friday night into very early Saturday morning.
Maine, USA
Some of the first aurora photos from the US this season come from Nate deLabry in Maine. The Arcticans Aurora Forecast app is perfect for anyone who wants to experience the Northern Lights in Maine. The app provides real-time aurora forecasts and alerts, so you can be sure to catch the best show.
