The aurora is expected to be bright and visible in multiple northern U.S. states Oct. 3 through Oct. 5 as well as from the lower Midwest to Oregon.
The estimated temperature of Hessdalen lights is about 5,000 K (4,730 °C; 8,540 °F). [13] At this temperature, the rate coefficients of dissociative recombination will be 10 −8 cm 3 s −1 for the oxygen ions, and 10 −7 cm 3 s −1 for the nitrogen ions. [b] Thus, in the Hessdalen lights plasma, the nitrogen ions will decompose (N +
Now that the sun is at the height of its 11-year cycle, the increase in solar activity has more frequently fueled "space weather" that produces the right conditions for northern lights to flourish.
Svalbard’s unique climate with polar night from November until February, make the season for observing the northern lights long.
