NOAAWhat Are Coronal Holes?<\/p>\n
Coronal holes are regions of the Sun that appear darker in images of the Sun taken by astronomers. They are cooler regions, with less dense matter that release high speed streams of solar winds. When those winds interact with the Earth\u2019s magnetic field, they can cause problems for satellites and radio navigation\u2014as well as cause the aurora borealis to appear more vibrant and visible further south.<\/p>\n
Where Could The Aurora Appear?<\/p>\n
States along the U.S.-Canadian border fall within the view line for Wednesday\u2019s aurora, according to forecasters. These include northern Washington, the Idaho Panhandle, Montana, North Dakota and northern South Dakota. In the Midwest, the lights could be visible from northern Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan, as well as northern Maine on the East Coast. The lights could also appear above most of Alaska.<\/p>\n
What\u2019s The Best Way To View The Northern Lights?<\/p>\n
Experts at NOAA recommend viewers travel toward Earth\u2019s magnetic north pole and away from sources of lights like cities. Viewers should position themselves on vantage points with a clear view north. Viewers should also try to time their trip to the hours the aurora is usually easiest to view\u2014between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Topline The northern lights have another chance of appearing Wednesday night, according to forecasters at the National Oceanic…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":466850,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3844],"tags":[8134,6623,70,413,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-466849","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-space","8":"tag-aurora-borealis","9":"tag-northern-lights","10":"tag-science","11":"tag-space","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115301214246918244","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/466849","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=466849"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/466849\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/466850"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=466849"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=466849"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=466849"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
