Depiction of the northern auroral oval from the Ovation site on July 15, 2013. Southern Canada and the northern fringe of the U.S. were under the oval with northern lights visible. The red âview lineâ shows how far south the aurora could be seen that night.
The northern lights are strongest when an active area on the sunâs surface faces Earth. Spectacular displays of the northern lights thus occur at roughly 27-day intervals, the time it takes the sun to rotate once. October, February and March are the best months for seeing the aurora borealis.
