2025 is the best year to watch aurora. Here's why

Peak Solar Cycle – 2025 marks the peak of the 11-year solar cycle, bringing higher solar activity and stronger auroras.

Increased Geomagnetic Storms – More frequent solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) will make aurora displays more intense and widespread.

Better Visibility – With higher solar activity, the aurora is expected to be visible farther south, reaching areas that don’t normally see it.

Stronger and Brighter Lights – Expect more vivid colors and larger displays due to heightened solar wind interactions with Earth’s atmosphere.

Optimal Viewing Times – The upcoming solar maximum creates ideal conditions for aurora watching throughout the year.

Accessible Locations – Major aurora hotspots like Alaska, Canada, and Scandinavia will have clear, consistent opportunities for spectacular views.

Longer Viewing Windows – The peak solar activity will offer extended hours of visibility, with auroras often visible well into the early morning.
