See the Northern Lights around the solar maximum!
Through 2024, the Sun will reach its highest point in an 11-year cycle of solar activity. This activity is measured by counting sunspots on the Sun’s surface. These spots hold the energy that can give rise to the Northern Lights (also known as Aurora Borealis), making the chances of seeing them more likely, and more vibrant and unforgettable when you do.
