Northern Lights Make a Magical Return: Aurora Borealis Lights Up Central Maine

Again, Maine has been blessed to witness the stunning Aurora Borealis.

According to Central Maine, because of the to heightened solar activity this year, the Space Weather Prediction Center at NOAA has forecasted that the northern lights may be visible across parts of Maine.

The spectacle is a result of charged particles from the sun interacting with Earth's magnetic field, creating a stunning display of colors in the night sky, as per the report.

I still can't forget seeing the lights for the first time this year in Maine.

Dave Dostie, photographer took this stunning photo, posted it on Facebook saying,

"Tonight! The solid Aurora forecast fell apart a bit just after dark but I went out anyways. After coming back home with nothing I noticed a quick spike happening again so ran back out to my favorite spot on the outskirts of Augusta! So grateful to capture a few really awesome pillars!

This show in the sky isn't something you can just schedule into your daily life either because it requires a bit of luck and timing.

The best time to see the Northern Lights in Maine is during the winter months, from late September to March, when the nights are longest and darkest.

However, according to the Craignair Inn, geomagnetic activity, which causes the auroras, can be unpredictable, so it's wise to keep an eye on solar activity forecasts and that is exactly what took place last night because it's not even fall yet!
