Forecasts!

The MOST COMMON Aurora E-mail Questions we get everyday: "Where and/or when can I see the aurora?" The Aurora is like the weather, the Aurora is a result of space weather.

Our favorite site to see when and where the Aurora may best be seen and the predicted intensity is the NOAA POES north polar map.
