***About Aurora Borealis

***: The Aurora Borealis, or Northern Lights, is a natural light display predominantly seen in high-latitude regions around the Arctic and Antarctic. It is caused by disturbances in the magnetosphere by the solar wind. These disturbances are often more intense during high solar sunspot activity, which follows an eleven-year cycle. The resulting ionization and excitation of atmospheric constituents emit light of varying color and complexity. The science behind this phenomenon involves the injection of precipitating particles into the atmosphere, guiding by Earth’s magnetic field, leading to ethereal displays that captivate and enchant observers.
