Valentine’s Day could bring a fascinating showcase of northern lights in some places in the United States
Oceanic and atmospheric administration (NOAA) Space weather forecast center It plans the requirements of the geomagnetic storms of the Sun G1, which could take Aurora to the ground on Friday. About the planet K-indexA zero and nine scale characterizes the magnitude of geomagnetic storms, considered a minor “G1” according to Ioa.

In the US, Idaho, Montana, Montana, North Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Alaska could be seen in the next few days, if the conditions are well, according to I Aurora Viewline Map.
Aurora could be extended until the south of Michigan and Maine north, according to the strength of the solar storm.
The magnetic field of the sun is currently in its maximum sun – the stage of its cycle when solar activity and energy is downloaded, in recent months in the last few months of the northern light activities.
It is a plasma magnetized plasma (CME) that emitted from the coron of the sun. To the ground, within the solar wind, it reveals bright green and pink material while the material interacts with the magnetic field of the Earth.

The most recent geomagnetic storm, especially a tall sunlight will be encouraged by Ioa. The same solar wind event sparked the previous G1 storm Sunday.
The exact time of northern lights is difficult to predict, because the sun is approximately 93 million kilometers, it means that CMEs can have days to reach the ground Space experts.
However, the citizen science platform was called Aurorasaurus Users send alerts if a Aurora can be visible in its field and can now send alerts in real-time seeing the northern lights.

The best times to see the northern lights are the sooner and after night hours, according to Ioa. It will allow you to improve the light of the light of the light or the bright lights of the full moon, they say space experts say.
If you want to take photos of northern lights, smartphones and digital cameras, they can be more sensitive to the color sets of Aurora and caught northern lights, even if they are not visible with pure eyes Platform.
