FAQ
Which camera shows stars right now?
The higher a camera is on this page, the darker its sky is right now. With clear skies, stars show up best there; the aurora cams catch the northern lights during the local night.
Where can I watch the northern lights live?
Lyngen North in Norway, Oulu in Finland and Marquette on Lake Superior in Michigan, plus an aurora-watch cam in Switzerland.
When is the best time to watch an aurora cam?
During the local night, especially from autumn to spring. Night in Norway or Finland is early morning to morning in Japan and late afternoon to evening on the US East Coast.
