Question by tigersuit: When do the Aurora Borealis (northern lights) most vividly and frequently occur?
I’m planning a trip to northern Canada and Alaska and one of the things I’d most like to see are the northern lights. However, I can’t seem to find any solid info on a time of year when they are most likely to be seen or when they would be the most vivid. What would the best time of year to travel to Alaska/Canada to see them?

They would be most vivid during an electromagnetic storm on the sun. Also, you would have to go in the winter during the long nights there, the aurora usually is poorly visible in the day
