Aurora Borealis

Aurora Borealis, also known as the Northern Lights, is a natural light display predominantly seen in high-latitude regions around the Arctic. It occurs when charged particles from the sun collide with gases in Earth’s atmosphere, creating vibrant colors—mainly greens, pinks, and purples. These interactions create shimmering waves and patterns in the sky, typically visible during long winter nights. The phenomenon is not only a stunning visual spectacle but also a fascinating interplay between the solar wind and Earth's magnetic field, reflecting the dynamic relationship between our planet and the sun.
