Northern Lights, or aurora borealis gradually subsided and reached the lowest point. And this light still provide a rare paintings and still pretty in the sky in the last 100 years.

Finnish Meteorological Institute, explained that the aurora borealis is generally followed the 'cycle of the sun' 11 annual, where the frequency of the phenomenon of rising to a maximum and then gradually phase minimum, after which it returned to repeat the cycle.

"Solar minimum cycle actually happened 2008, but this (cycle minimum) instead occurs continuously," said Noora Partamies researcher, as quoted from yahoo news. In the middle of this year, researchers still see an increase in solar activity, but they can not be certain whether this activity was out of the minimum level or not.

Northern Lights which appeared like a beautiful flame pattern resulting from the collision of the solar wind with the earth which is then drawn to the magnetic pole. Actually, this beautiful phenomenon causing damage to the atmosphere, the ionosphere and magnetosphere.

The phenomenon of aurora above minimum stage, according to researchers, can also be interpreted as a signal of easing in the sun because of the wind storm from the solar center is reduced.

For the first time, to researchers like Partamies, this phenomenon can be monitored and investigated using modern observation stations, how the impact of a worst of this solar cycle.

"We're waiting to see what will happen. What will the maximum cycle time, or it may be too late. Will this be big?" he said. This is related to the previous news that the solar storm is expected to reach its peak in 2013. The storm is expected to bring havoc on the earth.

Auroral light

During the cycle peak in 2003, the station on the Norwegian island of Svalbard near the North Pole, shows that the northern lights appear almost every night, one auroral season.
