When is the best time to look for the Northern Lights?
On certain occasions, the northern night sky is alive with dancing, luminous curtains of red, green, purple or yellow light, swaying and pulsating and sometimes converging near the zenith (overhead). Experiencing such a display of northern lights, or aurora borealis, is like standing inside nature’s kaleidoscope. Some of the largest displays can surge trillions of watts through the high atmosphere, creating an unforgettable experience from a dark sky location.
