Explore the science behind what causes the incredible light and color of the Aurora Borealis and Aurora Australis.

--

Why do we see those stunning lights in the northern- and southernmost portions of the night sky? The Aurora Borealis and Aurora Australis occur when high-energy particles are flung from the Sun's corona toward the Earth and mingle with the neutral atoms in our atmosphere -- ultimately emitting extraordinary light and color. Michael Molina explains every step of this dazzling phenomenon.

Lesson by Michael Molina, animation by Franco Barroeta.

I’m 28 and just witnessed this phenomenon in New England for the first time ever. “Night mode” on my phone picked up the light brilliantly but to the eye it was basically a pink sky. Pink sky but you can clearly see all the stars behind it. I’m very grateful to have seen this

2:45 I'd hardly call the distance from the sun to here "across the galaxy." But then again, we also seem to be having trouble telling the difference between a high-five and a fist-bump.

Aurora Borealis?!
At this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the country, localized entirely in your kitchen?
Yes.
