ations previously mentioned you are most likely going to have your opportunity to see the spectacular show. The ovals of the aurora borealis or the haloes of auroral light spill out into the hemisphere close to the poles, they actually expand so that the displays spread out towards the equator. People whom live close to the auroral zone have better luck than those of us whom live further away do. The northern lights are not visible during the daylight hours, thus excluding the twilight hours of summer. Intense and dramatic aurorals tend to be more common around the spring and fall equinoxes. This would allow persons whom live close enough to the auroral zone to view them as well.It is said if you view the auroras just after the sunset you will see what appears to be a large cirrus cloud that has been silvered with a soft, slow-shifting light, and that the auroras will be spectacular later in the evening. It is often true that if you have a spectacular show one night, the next night is bound to be just as terrific. The auroras seem to follow cosmic conditions that are right for the lights for several days. Bright auroras seem to follow a 27day interval, thus making it easier to view them. Note that the best time to view this exquisite site is on a clear night during the hours closest to midnight.People most interested in the activity of the auroras will obtain daily forecasts for the Space Environment Sciences Center located here in the United States. It is here that they collect and maintain data on the earths magnetic field. They use this information to predict what type of auroral activity you maybe able to see. A quiet magnetic field is equivalent to a quiet aurora, one only viewed in the auroral zone. While that of an active magnetic field is equivalent to a spectacular, dramatic outburst that may spill over the auroral zones, allowing others to view their magnificent forms of arcs, bands, orbs, donuts, spirals, and...
