Aurora

[Dirty]

Auroras are triggered by solar storms that eject clouds of rapidly moving, charged particles. When the clouds of solar particles reach Earth, they are deflected back by the planet's magnetic field. The collision sends electrons trapped inside the field spiraling down to the North and South Poles. The electrons fall to Earth and slam into atoms in the atmosphere, producing X-rays and the shimmering waves of auroras visible across the night sky. Auroras seen in the Northern Hemisphere are called "aurora borealis," while those observed in the Southern Hemisphere are known as "aurora australis."

Northern Lights...


Anyone ever really seen them?
AB?

In the winter in Iceland I had a show every night. The way they moved around and their lumonosicty was amazing. Its no wonder that people thought they were a sign from the other worlds. I was treated to that show for two winters, and working alot of nights had myself and my shift always looking. There are times when it was nothing notable, other times where it lit up the ground.

They are something worth taking a trip to see.
