Chasing the Auroras: Why You Should See the Northern Lights in 2025
As we all know, Aurora Borealis is visible every year in the northern hemisphere, but why is 2025 a special time to see it in person?
Ever heard about the Solar Maximum?
Well, it’s a time period when the Sun is at its most active. This means there are more sunspots, solar flares, and coronal mass ejections happening than usual. It’s like the Sun is having a particularly energetic phase!
…And what does this have to do with the Northern Lights? the increased solar activity during a Solar Maximum can lead to more frequent and intense auroras. These beautiful light shows, also known as the Aurora Borealis, are caused by charged particles from the Sun colliding with the Earth’s atmosphere. So, when the Sun is more active, there’s a higher chance of seeing these stunning displays! This means you will have the opportunity to see and experience the Northern Lights in all its glory!
