Northern Lights May 11 2024 Time

Northern Lights May 11 2024 Time. When and where can you see the northern and southern lights also known as the aurora? In may 2024, the strongest geomagnetic storm for more than two decades meant that the northern lights were visible at latitudes much further south than is.

The best time to observe the northern lights is around midnight, when the auroral oval is typically farthest south and the sky is darkest. Increased solar activity causes auroras that dance around earth’s poles, known as the northern lights (aurora borealis) and southern lights (aurora australis).
