Aurora Lights


A rare occurrence of aurora borealis, also known as the northern lights, was seen across Canada and northern United States this week. In the Southern Hemisphere a display of southern lights, known as aurora australis, could also be seen. Auroras are lights that are caused by a “spray of charged particles from the sun interacting with Earth’s magnetic field.” Another event occurred in this past October. I missed both views, unfortunately.
