Aurora Borealis
aka The Northern Lights✨
So what is so special about the Northern Lights❓
The aurora borealis...otherwise known as the northern lights...is a
vivid demonstration of the Earth's magnetic field interacting with
charged particles from the sun.
These particles (electrons and protons) collide with gases in Earth's
upper atmosphere. Those collisions then produce tiny flashes that fill
the sky with colourful light. As billions of flashes occur in sequence,
the auroras appear to move or " dance " in the sky.
