When a solar storm comes toward us, some of the energy and small particles can travel down the magnetic field lines at the north and south poles into Earth's atmosphere. There, the particles interact with gases in our atmosphere resulting in beautiful displays of light in the sky. Oxygen gives off green and red light. The Northern Lights offer a breathtaking and magical experience, often set against snow-covered landscapes. The aurora's unpredictable nature adds to its allure, as each display is unique and fleeting. For many, witnessing this celestial wonder is a once-in-a-lifetime adventure that connects them to the raw beauty and power of our planet.
