Aurora borealis, or the northern lights, are seen Oct. 10 in Oxford, Iowa. The auroras are a natural light display in Earth's sky that are famously best seen in high-latitude regions of the ...
The purpose of the project is to monitor the frequency and intensity of the Aurora Borealis (Northern lights) in the years that led up to the Solar Maximum that was scheduled to occur in 2013-14. Scientists have noticed that the sun's activity follows a regular cycle and the peak (Solar maximum) is reached every 11 years.

Through the clouds, the peninsula of Michigan can be seen, with Chicago brightly lit at the south end of Lake Michigan .
