Our latitude in Shawnee is 35 degrees north, and we find Polaris 35 degrees above the northern horizon. Similarly, to sail west at a constant latitude Columbus kept the north star at a constant altitude above the horizon.
Where can you see the aurora borealis? The aurora borealis is normally only visible from within 20 degrees of latitude of the North Pole. In North America, most viewing opportunities are limited to those in Alaska or the extreme northern parts of Canada. However, solar flares and geomagnetic activity can vastly increase the size of the aurora borealis, making its lights much more active and visible to much of the United States.
