Why the Northern Lights could get more intense | BBC Global

Before satellite technology brought us answers, the Northern Lights were a mysterious and unexplained phenomena, long woven into the legends of Arctic communities.
Occurring in the polar regions, this colourful light show is caused by particles from the Sun hitting the Earth's atmosphere.
Scientists predict that this year or next, the solar cycle will peak and a period of more intense and complex Northern Lights will follow.

Yep. Our amazing magnetosphere a testimony to our amazing Creator.

✅ It's a very significant reason to why anything other than primitive organisms & possibly deep sea soft tissued animals exist. The very intense levels of broad spectrum radiation would have likely severely restricted evolution of higher life - certainly on the exposed land surface.

I'd love to see it for myself with my own eyes. Every time auroras are forecast in the UK I look out of the windows at night to see if I can spot it but I never do. It doesn't help with the street lights, some of which never go out. I've only ever seen it once, I'll never forget it. One time Dad and I were at one of his friends places, and I kept seeing green flashes of light in the sky and I didn't know what it was. Apparently that was the aurora every now and then lighting up the sky.

[@MakingWaves-IsleOfMan]

Last week was my first time seeing them - aged 57 - Street lighting definitely diminishes your view, so keep your eyes on the news as over the next 12-18 months there are expected to be a few more big events. The further north you live, the better your chances, although the recent lights were seen down in the Channel Islands, so there is hope. Top tip is to go somewhere away from street lights then give your eyes time to adapt to the darkness. By eye I could see what looked like a long pale cloud, it was only with a camera that I could see the full effect. Good luck.

[@TURK_182]

You need to go outside away from lights & let your eyes adjust to the dark, then you might see it. I couldn't see anything from my house until I went outside & let my eye adjust & then it was everywhere

[@Nine-Signs]

1. Our magnetic poles are not expected to flip for at least another thousand years. 2. Even if it did it would represent no great threat to life on earth as humanity would have plenty of notice given it takes centuries to ramp up to and complete, and given there is no geological record showing any mass extinction events correlating with prior polar reversals and even at the midway peak of such an event the planet is still adequately covered by out magnetosphere, just spaghettified with many differing north and south poles. should make GPS interesting... 3. The only way you would see "more and more" auroras would be if the sun was having more and more solar flares completely irrespective of what our magnetosphere was doing.

Folks, this video was focused on briefly talking about solar maximum and the upcoming journey back into it. As an amateur astronomer and professional astrophotographer as they’ve said we’ve been here before, about every 11 years. They likely have other videos talking about this. This is just a short video about a specific topic while The Northern Lights are a popular topic right now. They didn’t focus on the Earth’s magnetic field was because that wasn’t the focus of the video. It was just a brief touch on the topic of auroras. Yes, people are talking about it; just do a simple Google or KZbin search if you want more info. The poles are always slightly shifting. The sun’s poles flip too. Look it up if you want to know. No need to freak out. And denying we humans have no impact on our environment (i.e. climate change) is like never cleaning up your house nor taking a bath and not disposing of any garbage and so forth and claiming it’s not your fault it stinks, rodents have taken up residence, some mold is toxic, you have to crawl over filth, and ya smell. 🙄 Obviously, unless one has NO understanding of nature, we do have an impact on our world. Beavers change their entire environment by building a dam in a waterway; to put it very, very simply. We humans imitate that and so much more. Building a highway will change the way the wind travels and weather for that area. Building a manmade lake can actually create lake effect snow in winter among other things. Putting up a building and cutting down trees will change wind, weather, wildlife movements, and so forth. Sheesh, I’ll never understand deniers and gripers complaining about cleaning up after themselves and folks wanting clean water, fresh clean air, planting trees, and doing whatever we can to make the world a better place. Yes, we live and should love life and part of that is building things and travel, but seriously cleaning up after ourselves actually benefits us too.

[@ivayloivggrigorov9959]

Of course we have impact and have done plenty of damage. But we haven’t caused climate change and there not a damn thing we can do about it. The poles aren’t doing the usual meandering. They’re on a road trip heading towards each other. Have you looked at a compass lately? We’ve been here before too. The poles shift every 12,000 years & we’re right on schedule.

[@AstiJay]

@@DaveBuildsThings I wish you were right. But this is a cyclical event. The earth’s magnetic field has likely never been fine for millions of years.

Not gonna happen. They are only reporting now because the last solar storm drew way too much attention to it globally. It would be suspicious if they ignored that and yet made a bigger deal about the eclipse. They can't come out and tell people that our modern way of life is about to end. That would collapse the entire system now. The lights out scenario may not happen for some time. Could be this year, next year, or even longer. The problem for the elites now is that the cat is out of the bag. People witnessed something insane and will start looking deeper into it, even more so when the next G5 storm creates low latitude auroras again. They will find out about the magnetosphere. The media will probably get orders to label people that say the magnetosphere is losing its strength, a right-wing, nazi, homophobic conspiracy theorist.
