by Mickael Marsalii
Northern Lights winter sightings are among some of themost fascinating experiences one could ever have the
pleasure of viewing. There are varying beliefs on how andwhere the Northern Lights are formed, but one thing is for
sure, they are a sight to behold.
The Aurora Borealis, also known a polar light, is a display ofnatural light that is mostly seen in the Arctic and Antarctic
regions -areas of high latitude. These displays of naturallight are created when the magnetosphere is interrupted bythe solar wind that the lines of charged particles in both the
magnetosphere and solar wind precipitate into the upperatmosphere and lose their energy. The result of this
ionization of atmospheric constituents release lights ofvarious complexities and colors.
