AUTUMN LIGHTS: For reasons not
fully understood by researchers, the weeks around equinoxes
are the best times to see Northern Lights. The northern autumnal
equinox of 2009 is only a week away and--voilà!--the show has begun:
"I had 8
people with me for an Aurora Photography Tour in Yellowknife
on Sept. 12th," writes Yuichi Takasaka from the Northwest Territories
of Canada. "Northern Lights started to appear from 10pm local
time and stayed well after 4am!"
At this time of year, the interplanetary
magnetic field near Earth tends to point south, an orientation
that weakens Earth's magnetic defenses against the solar wind. Under
such conditions, the slightest gust of solar wind can fuel a lovely
display. Polar sky watchers should be alert for Northern Lights
in the weeks ahead.
