Why are we suddenly having all these extreme Aurora Borealis events?

281 viewsOtherPlanetary Science

I live in Upstate NY, I can recall maybe once or twice in my entire lifetime hearing about being able to see the aurora and now it seems to be happening at least every few months, lately..

This seems like a significant increase over a very short period of time.. why is this happening?

People who haven’t actually seen them don’t realize that modern digital cameras on smartphones can pick up the aurora and enhance it to far more brighter colours than it actually is in reality – what my camera saw is not what I saw. Otherwise, we’re at a very strong peak of the cycle, enjoy the show!
