*** 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 and Antarctic. It is caused by the interaction of the Earth's magnetic field with charged particles from the sun. These particles collide with gases in Earth's atmosphere, resulting in displays that vary in color depending on the type of gas involved. The most common colors are green and pink, produced by oxygen molecules located about 60 miles above the earth, while nitrogen produces blue or purplish-red aurora. The phenomenon can take many forms, including patches, scattered clouds of light, streaming rays, or arc-like features that can illuminate the night sky with an eerie glow.
