   Why are auroras so exciting this year?

   • This year's aurora season promises to be particularly exciting due to the heightened solar activity associated with the current solar cycle. As auroras are triggered by energetic particles from the sun, their occurrence, simply put, is dependent on solar activity.

   Why do we see Northern Lights in 2022?

   • The bigger the space weather storm, the deeper charged particles can penetrate the magnetic field of the Earth, so that during intense events, the northern lights are seen at lower latitudes. In 2022 we have seen some spectacular auroral displays, natural light displays in the sky in more places than is usual across the UK.

   Are auroras happening more often now?

   • Auroras really are happening more often now. Here’s why. The northern lights, or aurora borealis, hang above the fishing village of Reine on Norway's Lofoten archipelago. The best places to see this ethereal display are in "auroral zones" that are close to Earth's poles—but sometimes you can see them from even farther north and south.

   Will auroras be stronger in 2023?

   • "Looking at the sunspot number, which correlates directly with the likelihood of stronger aurora displays, predictions from both 2019 and 2023 for the intensity of the coming maximum are already being exceeded," astronomer, author and chief aurora chaser at Hurtigruten, Tom Kerss told Space.com in an email.
