Commonly seen in high-latitude regions around the Arctic and Antarctic, these lights create a spectacular display of colorful illumination in the sky. The colors of the aurora, which can include greens, pinks, blues, violets, and occasionally reds, depend on the type of gas particles involved and their altitude. This light show not only captivates sky watchers but also holds cultural significance in many indigenous and northern communities.
