WHAT ARE THE NORTHERN LIGHTS?

Another name for the northern lights is Aurora Borealis. People have also called them polar lights, or Aurora Polaris. There are also southern lights known as Aurora Australis.

These beautiful displays appear in many colors although pale greens and pinks are the most common. Colorful tones of blues, greens, yellows, and varying reds, and purples have also been seen. The lights appear in many ways, from chunks of light to streamers, pillars of colored lights, rippling curtains or rays lighting up the night sky.
