Aurora

Aurora (astronomy) - Coloured light in the night sky near the Earth’s magnetic poles, called aurora borealis (‘northern lights’) in the northern hemisphere and aurora australis (‘southern lights’) in the southern hemisphere. Although auroras are usually restricted to the polar skies, fluctuations in the solar wind occasionally cause them to be visible at lower latitudes. An aurora is usually in the form of a luminous arch with its apex towards the magnetic pole, followed by arcs, bands, rays, curtains, and coronae, usually green but often showing shades of blue and red, and sometimes yellow or white. Auroras are caused at heights of over 100 km/60 mi by a fast stream of charged particles from solar flares and low-density ‘holes’ in the Sun’s corona. These are guided by the Earth’s magnetic field towards the north and south magnetic poles, where they enter the upper atmosphere and bombard the gases in the atmosphere, causing them to emit visible light.

Thank you for your useful tips, John. I certainly won't be too worried about the Northern Lights. I guess the scenery itself is worth to enjoy.

hmmmmmm, your likness is awesome.

very beautiful to see.

I was only 10 years old when I saw the Northern Lights. I was raised on a farm in central Kentucky My father came into the house excited and something is outside and you have to see it. My Mother, Sister and Brother and I all ran outside. My Sister was the brains of the family and said it was the Northern Lights, She had heard there had been many solar flares in the earlier days and the lights might be visible in the lower 48 states. But no one expected for them to reach that far south. I went back in a got a blanket and came back out and laid watching them. There was no school the next day so I knew something this special my parents would let me stay up and watch them and they did. Somewhere in the night I drifted off to sleep out in the open front yard with my faithful dog laying beside me protecting me as always. The Northern lights and the way they danced on the Horizon was one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen in my life.

go to north pole, Abbesco in Norway
