Northern Lights

The northern lights (also known as the aurora borealis) are generated when the solar wind from the sun interacts with molecules in the Earth's atmosphere, causing these molecules (nitrogen, oxygen, etc) to become excited and emit a spectrum of colors. They are most frequent near the poles and are known as the aurora australis, or southern lights, in the southern hemisphere.
