I would say that the claim is accurate. The recent visibility of the northern lights, or auroras, is linked to the current solar maximum phase of the solar cycle. The solar cycle lasts about 11 years and features fluctuations in solar activity, such as sunspots and solar flares. During a solar maximum, the sun becomes more active, releasing more energy and particles that interact with the Earth’s magnetic field, resulting in more vibrant auroras.
According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), we are currently experiencing Solar Cycle 25, which is expected to peak around 2025 (meaning we are slowly nearing the solar maximum cycle). The peak of the cycle in 2025 is causing the northern lights to be visible even in areas that usually don’t see them. Recent reports have noted that these displays have been spotted at lower latitudes, allowing more people to enjoy the view.
