Iceland, Finland, Russia: Why the best time to see the Northern Lights is NOW

NASA just announced that the sun has reached its solar maximum, which means that the year from now is the best in a decade to see the Northern Lights. Where can you travel to see the lights?

In Short

  • NASA announced the solar maximum for this solar cycle
  • The solar maximum will last a year from October 2024
  • The sun’s heightened state of activity means spectacular Northern Lights up north

The sun has entered the solar maximum. What it means up in space is that the sun is ‘flipping’ – yes, literally – and that it has reached the halfway mark of a solar cycle.

At the solar maximum, which happens every decade, the sun flips its magnetic poles and moves from a calm to an active state. This, in turn, leads to chaos in communication: there’s drag in the satellites in low-earth orbit; radio signals are impacted, and GPS might not work the way it’s supposed to.
