Known by another name, the Aurora Borealis, is a common sight in nations like Iceland and Norway.
It is occasionally observed in the UK.
The spectacular show is brought on by solar wind-borne particles from the sun that interact with Earth’s atmosphere after being directed toward the polar regions by the planet’s magnetic field.
The Royal Observatory Greenwich states that different gases have distinct effects. For example, green in the aurora is a result of solar particles colliding with oxygen, whereas nitrogen is responsible for hues that are purple, blue, or pink.
