Northern Auroras could be visible again in the United States: know which states

New York-. Northern northern trees could be visible in the United States on Monday night after the weekend solar storms.

The Sun issued a huge burst of energy called coronal mass ejection last week, which led to the forecasts of the space climate to broadcast a rare and severe solar storm alert on Sunday, although it was not as strong as the record last year. Another directed towards Earth on Monday could produce more aurora sightings.

The authorities are monitoring possible interruptions, although the worst has already happened. The weekend storms may have caused short interruptions on the high frequency radio, said Erica Grow CEI, spokesman for the Oceanic and Atmospheric National Administration.

Auroras could be visible, especially in darker rural areas, in Alaska, Washington, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin, Maine and Northern Idaho, Wyoming, Iowa, New York, Vermont and Nueva Hampshire.

This is what you have to know about the auroras and how to detect them.

The sun is in the maximum phase of its 11 -year activity cycle, which makes light exhibitions more common and generalized. The colorful northern lights have decorated the night skies in unexpected places and the experts in space climate say that there are still more auroras to come.

Last spring, the strongest geomagnetic storm in two decades hit the earth, producing light exhibitions throughout the northern hemisphere. And the past autumn, a powerful solar storm dazzled the observers of heaven away from the Arctic Circle when dance lights appeared in unexpected places, including Germany, the United Kingdom, New England and New York City.

Auroras exhibitions known as the lights of the north and south are commonly visible near the poles, where the particles loaded with the sun interact with the atmosphere of the earth.

Heaven observers are detecting the most inside the United States and Europe because the sun is going through an important image change. Every 11 years, their poles exchange places, causing magnetic turns and tangles along the way.

Severe storms are able to alter radio and GPS communications.

The active outbreak of the Sun is expected to last at least this year, although when its maximum point will reach the solar activity will not be known until months after the fact, according to NASA and the NOAA.

Solar storms can bring more than colorful lights to Earth.

When particles of rapid movement and plasma hit the magnetic field of the Earth, they can temporarily interrupt the electric grid. The space climate can also interfere with the radius of air traffic control and satellites in orbit.

In 1859, a severe solar storm caused auroras as southern as Hawaii and burned the telegraph lines in a rare event. And a 1972 solar storm may have detonated magnetic marine mines from the United States off the Vietnam coast.

Space climate experts cannot predict a solar storm with months in advance. Instead, they alert the relevant parts to prepare in the days before a solar explosion hit the earth.

Borenas borest forecasts can be found on the website of the NOAA space climate prediction or in a dawn prognosis application.

Consider observing the auroras in a quiet and dark area away from the city’s lights. Experts recommend observing the sky from a local or national park. And check the weather forecast because the clouds can cover the show completely.

Taking a photo with the camera of a smartphone can also reveal signs of the dawn that are not visible to the naked eye.
