Fun Fact!
Aurora Borealis or “Northern Lights.” Fun fact: this phenomenon is also called the Aurora Australis or the “Southern Lights” in the southern hemisphere. Aurora is the name given to the glow or light produced when electrons from space flow down Earth’s magnetic field and collide with atoms and molecules of the upper atmosphere in a ring centered on the magnetic pole of Earth. The collisions produce light much like how electrons flowing through gas in a neon light collide with neon and other gasses to produce colored light bulbs. There are two types of solar events that create big geomagnetic storms that are associated with bright and active aurora: a coronal mass ejection (CME) and a coronal hole.
