In times when we don't see the northern lights in the region, we found some household items to recreate the northern lights vibes.
If you didn't get to see the northern lights Thursday night, there will be more opportunities. The sun is still in its active cycle for a few more months. So, it'll continue to send out big blasts of charged up gases.When there is a huge blast, more of those charged gases can sneak into earth around the North and South Pole than is typically noticeable. This leads to the northern lights visible farther south.
The sun has an active period for years, which eventually peaks, and so far that has been 2024. Then, the sun reverses course and heads into years of less active times, when fewer big blasts leave the sun.If you think of it in terms of a calendar and seasons, the sun's calendar would be 11 or 12 years long, with two season-like periods - an active period of five or six years and a less active period of the same amount of years.
