“Aurora Burialis expectations” is heading, but it is only the northern states that will see anything

Aurora? somewhat! Northern lights They were heading on social media on ThursdayBut do not raise your hopes much. Only a limited region of the United States will be able to see it.

According to Space weather forecasting center In the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Aurora Burialis will be somewhat light on Thursday. The agency calls for the KP index about 4, which indicates “Aurora quiet”. During the past few weeks, these things have appeared regularly, indicating that Auroras that happen this week is not very special.

John Clark, an honorary professor of astronomy at Boston University, says online predictions are closer to 5 kg.

Despite the high prediction, Clark says that Aurora must often cover Canada, not the United States, but it is noted that “what is happening depends on solar wind, and (KP) is just predictions.”

There is an opportunity for people in some states to see it, most of them in the states adjacent in Canada. It includes Washington, Montana, North Dakota, Minnesota, Yistson, Michigan and Maine. In a state of unlikely to arrive in the south, South Dakota, New Hampsheer and Vermont may enter into this event.

People in Alaska will have the best vision, as the strongest part of Aurora is set to cut the middle and northern sections of the state.

Last year, there were some distinguished examples of Urara Burialis, which reached the far south, such as Texas for some people. Since then, Aurora scenes have become great news, even if it was not the most exciting examples.

Is more Ura coming?

Although this Aurora is not very special, it does not mean that good Aurora will not come soon. We are in the middle of the URORA season, which runs in March and April every year (alongside September and October). This means for the next month, there is an increasing opportunity for activity.

The sun is also at the height of its 11 -year -old session, which means that solar activity will be at its highest level ever for the next year or so. When the sun is active, it throws more solar torches than usual. Since the solar torches that strike the Earth are how an Ura is formed, this means that there is a higher chance for a good ark during the next month.

However, solar weather is very similar to the regular weather here on Earth. It is difficult to predict. Therefore, there may be a quiet season in Aurora despite all the difficulties in favor of a large Ura soon. Thus, if you embrace the Canadian borders, it will not harm the exit and check the sky tonight. It may be better than the expectations that indicate.
