The 'equinox effect' could supercharge auroras this month, as Earth's magnetic field and the solar wind meet in a fortunate way. The sun will cross the celestial equator on March 20, marking the spring equinox in the Northern Hemisphere and the fall equinoc in the Southern Hemisphere. This combination of this phenomenon and increased solar activity could make auroras more likely. However, the exact location and timing of these auroras are still uncertain. This comes as the peak of the sun's 11-year solar activity cycle is drawing to a close, with NASA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and the International Solar Cycle Prediction Panel stating that the sun had likely produced auroras, but it would not be possible to confirm this for months or years.
