The northern lights may be visible in parts of New Hampshire and Maine tonight. Here’s what you need to know.
Energized particles from the sun can create spectacular displays of the northern lights, which are visible at speeds of up to 45 million mph. However, Earth’s magnetic field protects us from these particles.
For optimal viewing, head to a location with dark skies. The best time is between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m., according to NOAA’s aurora forecast.
Some tips for seeing the northern lights include:
– Getting away from cities and finding an open field or hilltop
– Heading to a local conservation area or park with minimal lighting
– Choosing a coastline location away from larger cities
To monitor the sun’s activity and increase your chances of spotting the northern lights, check websites such as NOAA.
