The Northern Lights Could Be Visible Across the Northern US This Weekend. Here's How to See Aurora
Parts of the northern United States from Montana to northern New England could get a glimpse of the Northern Lights over Labor Day Weekend, space weather forecasters say.
The Northern Lights, or the Aurora Borealis, are a luminous and sometimes colorful display seen in the night sky. They occur when charged particles from the sun interact with gasses in Earth’s atmosphere. Typically, they are only visible in higher-latitude regions, including Alaska, Scandinavia and Iceland, and even then only in the darker winter months.
But a geomagnetic storm predicted for this weekend could result in aurora sightings further south in places where they’re not typically seen.
Here is what you need to know about the Northern Lights, and where to try and view them this Labor Day weekend:
What are the Northern Lights?.
The Northern Lights are brilliant and often colorful displays created when particles emitted from the sun interact with Earth’s magnetic field and atmosphere, colliding with gases like oxygen and nitrogen, according to the University of Alaska Fairbanks Geophysical Institute. As they collide, they gain energy, which they later release, creating the magnificent light shows we call the Northern Lights. (In the southern hemisphere, the same process results in the Southern Lights, or the aurora australis.)
The Northern Lights typically appear colorless or with a greenish-yellow hue. But occasionally, pink, red and even purple lights can be spotted. Either way, the show is best seen in clear, dark, could-free skies.
Northern Lights sightings were recorded by a number of human civilizations before the scientific process responsible for them was widely understood, NASA says. Ancient Chinese and Greek peoples wrote about the aurora, while they have been a part of Eskimo and Scandinavian oral tradition going back to 700 A.D. French astronomer Pierre Gassendi is credited with naming the phenomenon “Aurora Borealis,” which translates to “dawn of the north.”
When can people see the Northern Lights this weekend?.
While the Northern Lights occur during the daytime, they are only visible at night. Your best bet is to find a dark location away from city lights with a good view towards the north. You can use Dark Site Finder to locate the dark-sky location nearest you. Keep an eye on the weather forecast, too — clouds will block your view.
According to the UAF, the best time to watch for the Northern Lights is three or four hours around midnight, but the aurora can occur any time throughout a night.
Remember to dress warmly, as the temperature can drop significantly overnight at this time of year in most locations where the Northern Lights might be visible.
If you want to take pictures of the Northern Lights, your best bet will be using a camera capable of doing long exposures on a tripod with a wide-angle lens that has a fast aperture, like f/1.4 or f/2. Smartphones typically have a hard time capturing the aurora in all their glory.
It’s difficult to predict exactly how strong an aurora show will be, or if one will happen at all. However, the NOAA’s 30-minute forecast can give you some idea of when to get ready for a possible show. The OVATION Aurora Forecast shows the predicted intensity and location of the aurora based on current solar wind conditions.
However, aurora sightings are never a guarantee, so don’t be bummed out if you don’t spot anything — maybe consider doing some stargazing while you’re out there.
Where will the Northern Lights be visible?.
The Northern Lights could be visible this weekend in parts of Washington, Idaho, Montana, North and South Dakota, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Maine. Observers in other locations at roughly the same latitude could also see the aurora.

8월 30일 오로라 체이싱 투어 - Aurora Chasing Tour in Fairbanks, Alaska [알래스카 여행] [알래스카 신혼여행]
8월 알래스카 여름 오로라 여행 8월 페어뱅크스 오로라 체이싱 투어의 장점들 1) 페어뱅크스는 건조하기 때문에 여름 날씨가 쾌적하다. 2) 강과 호수 물 위에 반사된 오로라를 볼 수 있다. 3) 여름 여행과 가을 여행을 동시에 할 수 있다. 4) 8월 말경부터는 가을 단풍을 만끽할 수 있다. 5) 9월 중순에 마감하는 디날리국립공원 셔틀 버스 투어가 가능하다.
알래스카 현지인의 눈으로 바라 본 차별화 된 고품격의 힐링 맞춤 여행을 실속 있게 안내 해 드리는 알래스카 페어뱅크스 현지 자유 여행 / 맞춤 현지 여행 플래너 (가이드)
1. 1867년에 러시아로부터 720 만불에 알래스카를 구입함
Pioneer Park was opened in 1967 as Alaska 67 Centennial Exposition to celebrate the centennial of the Alaska Purchase.[1] After being given first to the state and then to the city, Mayor Red Boucher renamed the site Alaskaland. It was then changed to its present name in 2001 out of concern that the park could be mistaken for being primarily a theme park. The subject is still a topic of slight contention with locals. ... 출처: Wikipedia
참고로, #페어뱅크스 에 있는 #Pioneerpark #파이어니어파크 는 러시아로부터 알래스카를 구입한 지 100 주년이 되는 1967년에 Open 이 되었다.
2. 1912년 8월 24일 - 알래스카 준주(Alaska Territory) 가 됨 ... 미합중국의 자치령 정도로 ...
3. 1959년 1월 3일 - 49번째 미국의 정식 주로 승격이 됨
(알래스카 주민들에게 49 라는 숫자는 각별하다. 미국 본토를 The Lower 48 (밑에 48개 주 + 49번째 알래스카 + 50번째 하와이) 라고 부른다. 앵커리지에서 출발하는 #Iditarod 개썰매 경주와 캐나다 Whitehorse 와 알래스카 Fairbanks 간 개썰매 경주인 Yukon Quest #Yukonquest 거리가 공식적으로는 1000 마일이지만, 보통은 1049 마일 경주라고 부른다.)
4. 알래스카 - Alaska 라는 이름은 Great Land 라는 뜻을 가진 러시아 말에서 유래한다.
참고로, Denali (디날리, Denali National Park) 는 The Great One (위대한 절대자, 거룩한 신) 이란 뜻을 가진 원주민 말에서 유래를 찾을 수 있다. Alyeska (Alyeska Resort, Alyeska Pipeline ...) 는 The Great White One 이란 원주민 언어에서 유래한다.
5. 미국에서 제일 큰 주로 미국의 작은 주 22개를 합친 것 보다 더 넓은 땅이다.
It would be possible to fit 22 of the smallest states into Alaska and still have room left.
6. 알래스카 주는 무려 20개 다른 언어가 공식 언어로 사용된다.
7. 알래스카의 수도 (Capital) 는 앵커리지 (Anchorage) 가 아니라 주노 (Juneau) 이다. 주노는 산으로 둘러 싸여 있어 외부와 도로로 연결되지 않는다. 그래서 배와 항공기로만 접근이 가능하다.
8. 알래스카의 기온은 연중 무려 100˚F (37.8 ˚C)에서 영하 -80˚F (-62.2 ˚C)까지 지역마다 차이가 있다. (개인적으로 영하 -45˚F 까지는 경험해 보았다. 너무 추워서 바깥에 잠시 나올 때 입을 막지 않으면, 입안에 있는 습기가 순간에 얼어 버려서 호흡이 곤란해 질 수 있기 때문에 주의해야 한다. 그리고, 운전하면서 Ice Foggy 를 만나면 매우 위험하다. 앞이 잘 보이지 않고 길이 빙판이 되어 버려 자동차 제어가 되질 않았다.) #알래스카날씨 #알래스카기온 #알래스카온도
9. 알래스카 도로 보급률은 현저하게 낮지만, Prince William Sound 지역에는 미국에서 철도와 차량이 함께 이용하는 가장 긴 도로 (기차 - 철도) 터널이 있다. (참고로, 태평양 전쟁시 일본의 침략에 대비하기 위한 군사 시설을 지을 때 만든 터널로 철도와 자동차 도로로 사용되고 있다.이 터널은 Whittier 와 Seward 사이를 52마일 단축 시켰으며, 2000년 6월부터는 차량 운행이 허가 되었다. Whittier Glacier Cruise 를 타려면 이 터널을 지나야 한다.)
10. 알래스카 대부분의 땅은 연방 정부의 소유로 되어 있으며, 야생 동물과 사람의 손길이 닿지 않는 자연 그대로의 공원들이 많다. (실제로 도로를 운전하다 보면, 무스, 토끼, 다람쥐, 곰, 여우 등 다양한 야생 동물을 만난다.)

Fairbanks, Alaska in the winter is freaking amazing and should be on every travelers bucket list.
We spent a week up there in March: enjoying the snow, chasing the northern lights, dog sledding, going to sled dog races, sipping cocktails with glasses made of ice in the ice museum, visiting the sculpture festival, and SO MUCH MORE.
Check out Fairbanks, Alaska... In the winter! It's one of the most incredible places I've ever been.
