*** About Aurora Borealis: The Aurora Borealis, or Northern Lights, is a celestial phenomenon where natural light displays are visible in the sky, predominantly seen in high-latitude regions around the Arctic and Antarctic. These lights are a result of disturbances in the magnetosphere caused by solar wind. The varying colors of the aurora are due to the type of gas particles involved and altitude. Green, the most common color, originates from oxygen molecules located about 60 miles above the earth, while red, blue, and violet come from interactions at different altitudes and with other gases like nitrogen.
