Kan ik het noorderlicht zien vanaf mijn locatie?
1. Magnetische breedte
De zichtbaarheid van aurora hangt af van je magnetische breedte, niet alleen van je geografische breedte. Onze app berekent dit automatisch voor je exacte positie.
2. Lichtvervuiling
Om aurora te zien heb je een donkere hemel nodig. Zelfs bij hoge activiteit kan stadsverlichting het zicht beperken. Rijd 15-30 minuten weg van stadscentra.
3. Heldere hemel
Wolken zijn de grootste vijand van noorderlichtjagers. Controleer onze real-time wolkendek-kaarten voordat je op pad gaat.

Frequently Asked Questions
What time will the northern lights be visible tonight?

Can I see northern lights tonight near me?
Use the locator above to check live visibility for your area. Your chances depend on the current Kp index, local cloud cover, and your magnetic latitude.
Where is the best place near me to see aurora?
Drive 15-30 minutes away from city centers to escape light pollution. Look for elevated areas with an unobstructed view of the northern horizon.
How far should I drive from the city to see northern lights?
Most aurora viewers find that 20-30 km away from city light pollution is enough. For cities with large light domes, aim for 50+ km.
What Kp index do I need to see aurora from my location?
It depends on your magnetic latitude. High-latitude cities need lower Kp values; lower-latitude cities need stronger geomagnetic storms.
