 ***About Aurora Borealis: The Aurora Borealis, also 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 from the sun interact with the Earth’s magnetic field. These particles collide with gases in Earth's atmosphere, resulting in displays that vary in color depending on the type of gas involved—oxygen produces green and red; nitrogen produces blue and purple. The best time to witness this celestial event in northern areas such as Edmonton is during the winter months when the nights are longest and the skies darkest.
