*** About Aurora Borealis: Aurora Borealis, commonly known as the Northern Lights, is a natural light display predominantly seen in high-latitude regions around the Arctic. This phenomenon occurs when charged particles emitted by the sun collide with atoms in Earth's atmosphere. These collisions emit light, creating vivid displays that can vary in color depending on the type of gas particles involved. Green, the most common auroral color, is produced by oxygen molecules located about 60 miles above the earth, while nitrogen produces blue or purplish-red auroras. The spectacle can range from a subtle glow to dynamic streaks across the sky, sparking not only scientific interest but also mythic and cultural inspirations among various societies throughout history.
