Where can I see Aurora Borealis?
Can I see the Northern Lights in the midwest, particularly central Illinois? Or do i have to travel to the poles to see it?

The Arorora can rarely be seen in mid-Latitude areas like Illinois. It does happen, just not often. Your best bet is to travel closer to the poles in order to see it
2 :
Auroras, sometimes called the northern and southern (polar) lights or aurorae (singular: aurora), are natural light displays in the sky, usually observed at night, particularly in the polar regions. They typically occur in the ionosphere. They are also referred to as polar auroras. In northern latitudes, the effect is known as the aurora borealis, named after the Roman goddess of dawn, Aurora, and the Greek name for north wind, Boreas by Pierre Gassendi in 1621.[1] The aurora borealis is also called the northern polar lights, as it is only visible in the sky from the Northern Hemisphere, the chance of visibility increasing with proximity to the North Magnetic Pole, which is currently in the arctic islands of northern Canada. Auroras seen near the magnetic pole may be high overhead, but from further away, they illuminate the northern horizon as a greenish glow or sometimes a faint red, as if the sun were rising from an unusual direction. The aurora borealis most often occurs from September to October and from March to April. The northern lights have had a number of names throughout history. The Cree people call this phenomenon the "Dance of the Spirits." Auroras can be spotted throughout the world. It is most visible closer to the poles due to the longer periods of darkness and the magnetic field.

Yes the aurora borealis can be seen from Illinois as well as north Dakota and Wyoming. The best place in the USA to see the nothern lights however is in Alaska. Outside of Alaska, the best places in the USA to see the northern lights are in the northernmost states along the Canadian border, and Both the odds and the intensity of the aurora decrease as you go south. There is a website http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/pmap/ which tells you when and where the aurora borealis is best seen and what it's intensity will be

If you get any night during those times, yes there is a chance of seeing it. You are certainly far enough North to see it. However there are no guarantees depending on the Sun's activity. You should check out this link, which will give you a heads-up on any predicted auroral activity. http://www.spaceweather.com/
2 :
Brief answer: Maybe. There are three things (other than clouds) that determine your ability to see the aurora: 1) Solar activity. The sun has been exceptionally quiet for the last year. (We should be climbing out of solar minimum now, but it hasn't happened yet.) 2) Your location relative to the magnetic poles of the earth. Yellowknife should be a great location. 3) Sky darkness. On August 1, the sky never gets fully dark at night at Yellowknife. The darkest time of night is 1:44 AM MDT, when the sun is 9.6 degrees below the horizon. Although the sky is not fully dark, I think it should be dark enough to see the aurora if present (although perhaps not the very faintest aurora). The best time to look will be when the sky is nearly as dark as it gets, and this happens from about 12:55 AM to 2:35 AM, when the sun is at least 9 degrees below the horizon. (For bright aurorae, you can expand this interval by 1 or 1.5 hours on either end.) Here are two links I like: http://www.spacew.com/www/aurora.php Look over the whole web page. It includes a map that "estimates the VISIBILITY of auroral activity from any location in the northern hemisphere." Right now, all of northern Canada lies within a faint green area. (Green represents a level of activity from nil to low.) http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/rt_plots/kp_3d.html Shows the "Kp index." The site mentions that levels of 5 or greater "indicate storm-level geomagnetic activity." The bigger, the better. If you have access to the internet at Yellowknife, you can track this index. Finally, of course, a bright moon can interfere. The moon is full on August 5, and will wash out the sky on this and surrounding days; this will make it more difficult to view the aurora unless it's very bright. You might bring a table of moonrise/moonset times so you know when the moon is up. You can produce one here: http://www.usno.navy.mil/USNO/astronomical-applications/data-services/rs-one-year-us Yellowknife has these coordinates: latitude: 62° 27' north longitude: 114° 22' west time zone: mountain daylight time (UT-6, or 6 hours west)

As of now, there is none - but it's already on the works. When the Umiray Hydroelectric Project has been completed, a road will also be built from Dona Remedios Trinidad straight to Dingalan - it is envisioned to be sort of a mini-Singapore or mini-Hong Kong. Currently, all motorists have to pass through San Miguel, Bulacan and Nueva Ecija to go to Aurora Province - and it takes 7 hours (Dingalan) or 6 hours (Baler).

However, I can't seem to find any solid info on a time of year when they are most likely to be seen or when they would be the most vivid.

They would be most vivid during an electromagnetic storm on the sun. Also, you would have to go in the winter during the long nights there, the aurora usually is poorly visible in the day
2 :
Northern (ans southern) lights are caused by storms on the sun sending charges particles of matter through space. When they hit the earth's Magnetic Field the cause a "glow". The Northern Lights are NOT seasonal, and can occur at any time of the year, and are pretty much unpredictable, UNLESS you know someone who "watches" the sun. like an astrophysicist. SOMETIME they can tell when the sun is going to "erupt", and possibly predict northern lights. So, no one can tell you "what time of year" is best to see them -- because they don't work that way.

4 :
The lights are always there, just not visible during daylight. Which rules out the summertime. Fairbanks is the best place to catch them because it's usually over Fairbanks a greater percentage of the time (the band moves) See this link for "solid info"
5 :
The aurora is formed when charged particles (electrons and protons) are guided by the Earth's magnetic field into the atmosphere near the poles. When these particles collide with atoms and molecules of the upper atmosphere, primarily oxygen and nitrogen, some of the energy in these collisions is transformed into the visible light that characterizes the aurora. When there is a disturbance on the sun, such as a solar flare or coronal mass ejection, it can produce a disturbance in the solar wind. This in turn will cause a disturbance in the balance between the solar wind and Earth's magnetic field. As a result, electrons and protons are accelerated within the magnetosphere. WHEN DO THEY OCCUR? The aurora is a near daily occurrence somewhere on Earth and there is almost always an aurora in the sky (both day and night, but in the daytime it is out-shined by sunlight). However, the following factors can increase your chance of seeing them: Time of Day: Because the intensity of the light in an aurora is low, it can only be seen at night. Furthermore, the most active and brilliant displays usually occur near midnight. Therefore, the best time to observe the aurora is, on average, between 11 p.m. and 2 a.m. Season: In the northern hemisphere, the best time to view an aurora is during the winter. At latitudes where auroras are common, it is typically light all night in the summer—so you rarely have warm weather and a good aurora. Furthermore, in most polar regions, the weather tends to be clear during the middle of winter—so often the best time to see an aurora is also the coldest. Sun Rotation: It takes the sun 27 days to rotate one time around its axis, so 27 days after an aurora display, the active region on the sun that caused the aurora will face Earth again. Although solar activity in that region on the sun might have decreased in the mean time, there is still a greater chance of aurora 27 days after the last period of increased auroral activity. Solar Activity: Auroral activity also correlates with the activity of the sun, which changes according to an 11-year solar cycle. In general, the more active the sun, the greater the number of auroras. Thus, auroral displays are more likely around the time of the solar maximum (when solar activity is high). Aurora displays remain frequent and strong for several years around solar maximum. During solar maximum, the auroras are not only more frequent and more active, but they also can come further south away from the poles (it should be noted, however, that bright and active auroras can be observed at any time during the solar cycle). Weather, the full moon, and light pollution also affect your ability to see aurora. Your best bet for seeing aurora is to get as close as you can to the position of the auroral oval, and as far away as you can from sources of artificial light and overcast skies. Tips on viewing the aurora can be found at NOAA's Space Environment Center.

Can I see Aurora Borealis from Norway or Sweden?
I am going to Norway and Sweden late March and want to see the Northern lights/Aurora Borealis. Unfortunately I am going to be in the southern parts near Bergen and Stockholm respectively. What are the chances I can see the Northern lights from these locations OR is there anywhere close to those locations that I would be able to travel to and see the lights?

Well you'll have less of a chance of seeing them, the farther south you are, so if its a must to see them, i'd start looking for places to travel farther north.

You have to go to the north. I would recommend you the Ice hotel in Sweden that is the biggest Ice hotel in the world. You can see aurora from there, while sleeping in -5°C :) Can be funny experience. http://www.best-of-european-union.eu/2011/03/03/biggest-ice-hotel-in-the-world-sleep-well-in-5-c-sweden/

Yes, the northernmost Sweden/Norway are your best bets, completely away from disturbing city lights, though then again, as the daylight time is already increasing, it might be a bit too late to see them (plus that they cannot be predicted). Usually the best viewing time is between November and February.

Reality time...you will have very little chance of seeing the northern lights even in northern Norway and even less chance in Bergen or Stockholm. March is getting a bit late...the night sky doesn't get very dark and it gets lighter at night the further north you go. Bergen and Stockholm are too far south and Bergen is mostly cloudy anyway. and gets very wet.

Forget the 'Norway is good for Northern Lights' story....it's not the best at the moment and only the far north is good. Norway's tourist program has been very successful in spreading the northern lights story but Alaska and Canada have more sightings of aurorae than Norway does. They also have aurora hotels and mobile phone and email alerts as Finland has too but do you hear of them?

Norway is very beautiful and is well worth a visit, but not specifically to see the lights just yet, which are happening there only rarely as in Sweden. For two years there were none at all....not even one in the entire world.. The Sun was unusually quiet for a long time. It's waking up but aurorae are still not common It can't be absolutely ruled out...but the chances are very small that you'll see one in any particular week for the coming month in Scandinavia.or when the sky is dark enough again in November, though it may be a bit better then than it is now. Here is the current Auroral Oval map from satellite data....for today. It's biased toward Canada and Alaska as it has been for a long time and will be for a long time yet because the magnetic pole is that side of the axial pole.

If you are driving it is a good hour or so to reach Toronto. By public transit, it's approximately an hour and a half, but the GO line is not very regular, even during the rush hour.

Aurora, IL isn't safe for anyone unless they have a gun.

I do not know what jericho circle is unless it has something to do with the part of Aurora. Will you be there for the day or staying with someone? I don't know if you want to travel yourself, but may need to watch at night.

from olongapo take a bus going to manila. victory liner for example. it's about a 3-hour trip and the fare is no more than 200 pesos. then from manila take another bus (e.g. JAM transit) that goes to baler. it's a longer trip and the fare is about 300 pesos. for your return trip, it's baler-manila-olongapo. you cannot bypass manila as there is no public trans plying the olongapo-baler route. as they say in the airline industry, no such direct flight.

About Travel: Is it easy to observe Aurora Bernoulis/Northern light in Lapland
Travel: Is it easy to observe Aurora Bernoulis/Northern light in Lapland?
Is it easy to observe Aurora Bernoulis/Northern light in Lapland (Rovaniemi)? I m planning for my trip in Finland in Dec. I wonder should I just walkaround myself to catch the Northern light or should I pay Euro100 per person to join those Northern light searching tour package? Thanks! Thanks for feedback from everyone. Actually the EUR100 is a searching by reindeer.. Maybe that's why it is ex. Anyway, i will try out reindeer in some other ways then..and see the aurora myself..Thanks for info!

WHAT?... Euro 100 to see something you only need to step outside to see.... Sure you can see the Aurora Borealis in Lapland... anywhere near the artic circle works just fine.
2 :
We have a small house at Saariselkä, which isn't too far from Rovaniemi, and everytime I have been there for a week, or longer, I've always seen Aurora Borealis atleast once. So in my opinion it's a waste of money to pay for those tours, you just have to keep your eyes at the sky every night and you should see one.
3 :
Scam. Aurora Borealis. Go outside at night look up to the north. Pay me Euro 100.

There was rumoured to be a plane called the Aurora that used some special type of propulsion that could travel at very high speeds (Mach 5+) but popular opinion is that the project was scrapped.
2 :
is this ? or are there? or was there? the question is not. is there.? the question should have been when did it happen? the answer is yes, and faster, and top secret
3 :
Not top secret if it's on Wikpedia Go take a look
4 :
Well, that would depend on what you call plane. There is a rocket plane called the X-15 that flied at Mach 6 4,500 mph. The fastest airplane with airplane engines was the SR-71 Blackbird which traveled at Mach 3.2. If there is a plane called the Aurora, it is probably Top Secret being held somewhere at Area 51.
5 :
Spyplanes are outdated and being retired. Sats are much more reliable and theres no risk of endangering the pilots. Many countries in the world such as Russia and China, have SAMS with Mach 6-7.
6 :
The information is CLASSIFIED
7 :
I think "Aurora" was the name of a fictional test plane featured on The X-Files. Its possible that something in development has that name, and certain aircraft are certainly being tested now with top speeds well above mach 4, but I would doubt that they would be so cliche as to use the same secret code that the writers of The X-Files used.

Distance L = vt; velocity v times time traveled. When a wave of light travels its velocity, v = c, the speed of light. Thus L = ct. If we say that L = wavelength, then the time t is called the period, which is just the time light takes to travel the length of one wavelength. One wavelength can be measured as one cycle, from crest to crest for example, of a wave. In which case t = seconds/cycle when t is the period of a wave. And therefore we see that 1/t = cycles/second = f, which is the frequency of the light. Then L = ct = c/f; so that Lf = c. And there we have it. The light from the AB will travel at the speed of light. And we can find the wave lengths of that light by measuring the frequencies (color) of the emitted light. That is, L = c/f. A spectrometer can be used to measure the frequencies, from which the wave lengths can be found. Now, this may not be what you are looking for. The AB actually wave back and forth in the magnetic flux of the Earth's magnetic field (usually near the poles). If that's what you are looking for; I have no idea because I have no idea what frequencies the Earth's magnetic flux fluctuates at.
