An aurora [a] (pl. aurorae or auroras), [b] also commonly known as the northern lights (aurora borealis) or southern lights (aurora australis), [c] is a natural light display in Earth's sky, predominantly seen in high-latitude regions (around the Arctic and Antarctic). Auroras display dynamic patterns of brilliant lights that appear as curtains ...
The northern lights, or aurora borealis, is a natural phenomenon that has enchanted humans for thousands of years. The light display in the sky is caused by cosmic rays, solar wind and ...
Millions were wowed last week when the Northern Lights, or Aurora Borealis, made a rare appearance as far south as the Gulf Coast.. Photos circulated on social media and elsewhere of the pink and ...
The northern lights, or the aurora borealis, occur when energized particles from the sun collide with Earth's upper atmosphere. That's where the planet's magnetic field comes in.
Harmonic produced this show exclusively for NASA TV UHD, using time-lapses shot from the International Space Station, showing both the Aurora Borealis and Aurora Australis phenomena that occur when electrically charged electrons and protons in the Earth's magnetic field collide with neutral atoms in the upper atmosphere.
The solar storms of May 2024 (also known as 2024 Mother's Day solar storm [1] or Gannon storm in memory of Jennifer Gannon, [2] a space weather physicist [3]) were a series of powerful solar storms with extreme solar flares and geomagnetic storm components that occurred from 10–13 May 2024 during solar cycle 25.
The “Aurora Borealis” also known as The Northern lights are expected to shine over the U.S. as geomagnetic activity driven by solar coronal holes will lead to an explosion of color in the sky ...
The purpose of the project is to monitor the frequency and intensity of the Aurora Borealis (Northern lights) in the years that led up to the Solar Maximum that was scheduled to occur in 2013-14. Scientists have noticed that the sun's activity follows a regular cycle and the peak (Solar maximum) is reached every 11 years.
