Aurorae: Natural Light Displays in the Sky

What Are Aurorae?

Aurorae, also known as the northern lights (aurora borealis) or southern lights (aurora australis), are natural light displays that shimmer in the sky. Blue, red, yellow, green, and orange lights shift gently and change shape, often creating beautiful light shows in the sky.

How to See Them

Aurorae are most commonly seen in high-latitude regions, near the North and South Poles. The best time to view aurorae is during the winter months, when the nights are longer and darker. To increase your chances of seeing an aurora, find a location away from city lights with a clear view of the northern or southern horizon.

Aurorae are a beautiful and awe-inspiring natural phenomenon. If you ever have the opportunity to see one, be sure to take the time to enjoy the experience. It is a truly unforgettable sight.
