The Aurora Borealis is caused by energized solar particles colliding with Earth’s atmosphere. Here, the particles interact with gases, which then emit light, most commonly green but also shades of purple, pink, and blue. The lights often seem to dance and flicker across the sky, making it feel like a celestial ballet.
