NASA announces that the Northern Lights will be visible this summer

One of the unforgettable experiences is being able to experience a Northern Lights spectacle. It is one of the most extraordinary atmospheric phenomena that human beings can contemplate.

According to the Canadian Space Agency, “they occur when Charged particles (electrons and protons) collide with gases in Earth’s upper atmosphere. These collisions produce small flashes that fill the sky with colorful light. As billions of flashes occur in sequence, “The auroras appear to move or ‘dance’ in the sky.”

According to NASA in a statement, this summer we will experience a “once in a lifetime event”, and that is You can enjoy the Northern Lights from June to August in different parts of the world.

The experts have explained that in these months we will see a dark point among the seven stars of the Corona Borealis, the “Northern Crown”, where an imminent nova event is about to occur: “Hydrogen from the red giant accumulates on the surface of the white dwarf, causing a build-up of pressure and heat. Over timetriggers a thermonuclear explosion large enough to blow up that accumulated material.”

This phenomenon can be repeated, on average, every 80 years. “There are some recurring novae with very short cycles, but We don’t normally see a repeating flare in a human lifetime, and rarely one so relatively close to our own system.It’s incredibly exciting to have this front row seat,” said the Dr Rebekah Hounsell, adjunct research scientist specializing in nova events at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center.
