Beautiful! We have the Southern lights down my way, but I'd like to see the northern lights too.

The beautiful lights of God's Almighty throne at the North Pole.

Even tho I was able to see them somewhat where I live last night I still need to experience them like this. To the naked eye it was a faint pink glow that shifted and got brighter. My phone caught it more like this but ..man I want to experience it like this one day

Why do I feel like I been here before 😮

this isn't just light it's our mother earth protecting us from solor radiation

Emerald rainbows encircling God’s throne. “The one sitting on the throne was as brilliant as gemstones—like jasper and carnelian. And the glow of an emerald circled his throne like a rainbow.”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭4‬:‭3‬ ‭

first time to see actual aurora was in iceland :) Sept

hear is a little information for the aurora borealis The lights we see in the night sky are in actual fact caused by activity on the surface of the Sun.

Solar storms on our star's surface give out huge clouds of electrically charged particles. These particles can travel millions of miles, and some may eventually collide with the Earth.

Most of these particles are deflected away, but some become captured in the Earth’s magnetic field, accelerating down towards the north and south poles into the atmosphere. This is why aurora activity is concentrated at the magnetic poles.

“These particles then slam into atoms and molecules in the Earth’s atmosphere and essentially heat them up, ” explains Royal Observatory astronomer Tom Kerss. “We call this physical process ‘excitation’, but it’s very much like heating a gas and making it glow.”

What we are seeing therefore are atoms and molecules in our atmosphere colliding with particles from the Sun. The aurora's characteristic wavy patterns and 'curtains' of light are caused by the lines of force in the Earth’s magnetic field.

The lowest part of an aurora is typically around 80 miles above the Earth's surface. However, the top of a display may extend several thousand miles above the Earth.

Me live in uk so i dont see it but i saw it once

Which month did you see this? And can you also share tips on how many layers of clothing to wear and what kind when we go on a Northern lights hunting tour?
