northern lights

It's not uncommon for Idahoans to see the Northern Lights. The opportunity usually presents itself once every couple of years, and to get the best view you need to find an area with little to no light pollution.

Northern Lights made national news this week as they were seen in more than 30 states in the country, according to information published by USA Today. Several videos were shared on social media in the past 48 hours in states like California, Nevada and Idaho as well.

Wednesday night, the Northern Hemisphere was treated to a unique showing of light which was seen as far as Southern Idaho, and we have pictures to prove it.

The Aurora Borealis is going to be out in full force tonight across the Northern Hemisphere, and that means you could see it in Idaho.

The winners will have until February of 2024 to take the trip. The deadline to enter the contest is February 10, 2022.

A retired journalist in Finland contacted our company and sent some pictures of the Aurora Borealis taken around the same time the phenomenon was seen in Washington State and northern Idaho earlier this week.

Some incredible footage was shared on October 12, 2021, from KREM 2 News. It shows a series of photographs of the lights taken in eastern Washington and northern Idaho.

For many of us who keep a mental bucket list of things we want to see and do before we die, the Aurora Borealis ("Northern Lights") is at the top of a lot of these lists.

I fear that this close to Christmas that the many well-lit houses in our area might outshine the lights on the horizon.

We also need to ask ourselves why we think we’re interesting.

The further you are away from light sources, such as street lights and lit buildings, the easier it will be to view the northern lights.

The Northern Lights could be visible tonight, September 1st, in Idaho!
