The further north you are, the better results you will have.  Typically, you need to live above 53 degrees latitude to see them on a regular basis, but with BIG solar storms, the aurora can be seen as far south as 30 degrees.\n\nWinter months tend to be better viewing months because the aurora occurs in the shadow of the earth from the sun.  The North Pole is mostly in darkness during this time of year.  Also, the air is clearer because it's cold and there's less moisture in the air.  At night, the best times are the hours near midnight.\n\nIn the continental U.S., you can see the aurora in the Northernmost states a handful of times throughout the year, based on solar activity.\n\nBelow is a site to check out to see what the present solar activity is like and the forecast.  This will help determine which nights might provide success.

The aurora is a glow observed in the night sky, usually in the polar zone. For this reason some scientists call it a "polar aurora" (or "aurora polaris"). In northern latitudes, it is known as "aurora borealis" which is Latin for "northern dawn" since in Europe especially, it often appears as a reddish glow on the northern horizon as if the sun were rising from an unusual direction. The aurora borealis is also called the "northern lights". The aurora borealis most often occurs from September to October and March to April. Its southern counterpart, "aurora australis", has similar properties

Anyplace not cloudy and that does not have too many bright lights will do. Just look anywhere in the sky. The meteors can appear anywhere in the sky. Look after midnight though, because the radiant won't rise until then. The later at night you look, the better. 4:00 AM would be the best time to look.\n\nThe predictions are not that good this year. A few years ago I saw 50 bright ones per hour. This year they are predicting 10 or 15 per hour, and maybe not bright ones either. Also, the peak time is before the radiant rises in the US, so Europe will see the best show. If the predictions are correct.

Northern Lights. It was breathtaking.

Aurora are not seasonal.  You see them better in winter perhaps because the sky is clearer and if you live VERY far north because the sky is darker (sun does not dip as low below the horizon in summer as you go closer to the pole). \n\nAurora come from big streams of solar protons, and these events don't care if it is summer, fall, winter or spring. If anything, they might be brighter in summer, since the magnetic pole you are near will have a more direct path to the sun.\n\nI bet there are Aurora watching websites with recommendations, but you should just need a large proton flux and dark, clear skies.\n\nYou can look at solar activity at the source website below to decide if it is a good time for aurora spotting.\n\nI also found this page.  It is meant for Western Canada, but the hints about Kp index (available on the spaceweather site) should still work wherever you are!

It's extremely rare, but can sometimes be seen in the northern states.  Probably when it's a large display on a very clear night.  I remember seeing something that everyone says was the Northern Lights in Connecticut as a kid but I was pretty young.  Could have been fireworks for all I know.

Geophysist, I would like to study the Aurora Borealis

Sorry,\n\nBut according to web site TVSHOWSONDVD.COM.  That program is only available right now in other countries.  I suggest you watch this site for it coming to the USA.  This site is really up-to-date on what is being released on DVD...I'm hoping too for it to come out here!!!!

the northern lights are due to charged particles from the sun interacting with the earths magnetic field, causing the atmeosphere to give of visible light.

Gee, I'm not sure. But you can try this: http://www.pratechnet.com/viewtopic.php?t=3602\nLinks to the 1st 6 seasons are here but you need to register (for free) to be able to view these.
