The Northern Lights, also known as the Aurora Borealis, are a natural light display that occurs in the Earth's atmosphere. They are caused by charged particles from the sun interacting with the Earth's magnetic field.
The Northern Lights are not actually moving south, but rather, the Earth's magnetic field shifts and changes, causing the lights to appear further south than usual.
The frequency of the Northern Lights varies depending on the activity of the sun. They tend to occur more frequently during periods of high solar activity, which happens in cycles that last around 11 years.
The visibility of the Northern Lights during this event will depend on the strength of the geomagnetic storm and the clarity of the sky. Generally, they will be visible in areas further south than usual, including parts of the United States and Europe.
The best way to see the Northern Lights is to find a location with minimal light pollution and a clear view of the northern horizon. It is also important to check the forecast for geomagnetic activity and to be patient, as the lights may not be visible every night.
