Description

DescriptionAn aurora, sometimes referred to as polar lights, northern lights, or southern lights, is a natural light display in the Earth's sky, predominantly seen in the high-latitude regions. Auroras are the result of disturbances in the magnetosphere caused by solar wind.

Explanation:

Fairbanks sits in the auroral oval, a ring-shaped ar

ea around the North Pole, and it's one of the best places in the world to see the lights.

The aurora borealis (northern lights) form when charged particles emitted from the sun during a solar flare penetrate the earth's magnetic shield and collide with atoms and molecules in our atmosphere. These collisions result in countless little bursts of light, called photons, which make up the aurora.

As these reactions occur at the magnetic poles this is why auroras are most likely to be seen in Scotland and the northernmost parts of the UK. The northern lights are best viewed away from light pollution, on long, dark nights and when the skies are clear and free of clouds.

, from around end of August up until end of April. And even though most of the sources state that the best time to observe them are midnight, my experience is that they can appear right after sunset and can be seen just before sunrise. Generally northern lights appear in short bursts, with changing intensity.
