https://upfile.neungyule.com/upload_admin/2026/03/119_p04.jpgPeople usually travel far north to see the aurora borealis, also known as the northern lights. These glowing lights are typically seen near the Arctic Circle.*

Recently, however, they have appeared more frequently in parts of Europe, Canada, and the northern United States. Scientists say there is a clear reason for this change.

The aurora borealis is a natural light display that forms when the sun releases charged particles, a continuous event known as the solar wind. When these tiny particles reach Earth, they collide with gases in the atmosphere. This reaction causes the gases to glow, creating colorful lights in the night sky.

Experts explain that this increase is connected to the sun¡¯s activity cycle. The sun goes through periods when it becomes more active than usual. It is currently near the peak of this cycle, meaning stronger solar winds are reaching Earth.

Because of this, 2026 is expected to be one of the best years to see the lights. People living farther south may have rare chances to view them. While this change is temporary, it offers a special opportunity for sky observers.
