What Are Coronal Mass Ejections?<\/h2>\n

Coronal mass ejections are bursts of solar material that escape from the Sun. When this material reaches the Earth, it interacts with the planet\u2019s magnetic field and causes geomagnetic storms. These ejections are sometimes associated with solar flares, or large explosions on the Sun that erupt radiation, according to NASA<\/u>. The most powerful solar flares are X-class solar flares, and forecasters at NOAA observed<\/u> one of these eruptions on Tuesday. Forecasters also suspect this solar flare could cause \u201cstrong\u201d high frequency radio blackouts on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Where Could The Northern Lights Be Visible?<\/h2>\n

According to NOAA\u2019s aurora forecast map, the northern lights have a \u201clow likelihood\u201d to appear visible from several states along the U.S.-Canadian border, including parts of Washington, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota and South Dakota. In the Midwest, the aurora could potentially be visible from northern Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan\u2019s Upper Peninsula. The aurora could also be visible from Alaska, with most of the state falling in the \u201chigh likelihood\u201d zone on the map.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the Best Way to View the Northern Lights?<\/h2>\n

Experts say viewers should travel as far north as possible, towards Earth\u2019s magnetic north pole located in northern Canada. Viewers should position themselves on a vantage point\u2014ideally on a hill with a clear view of the northern sky, and away from other sources of light. The aurora is most active around midnight, so viewers should wait until the hours of 10 p.m. through 2 a.m. to search for the lights.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the Best Way to Photograph the Northern Lights?<\/h2>\n

Photographers who spoke to National Geographic<\/u> said smartphone cameras are perfectly capable of capturing quality photos of the northern lights, with the right settings and equipment. Would-be aurora photographers should remember to turn off flash and turn on their device\u2019s night mode, and shoot in RAW image format. They should also invest in a tripod and a remote timer\u2014cameras need to be held still for long periods of time to take in enough light for a quality photograph.<\/p>\n
