Original Note:
The northern lights are the result of sun activity which fluctuates on a approximately 11 year cycle. We are currently approaching a maximum, hence the increase in recent aurora sightings. Similar patterns of northern lights were seen during the last maximum in Apr 2014. https://www.space.com/what-is-solar-maximum-and-when-will-it-happen
