Sky Dancing Waves. 

 

🧭Northern Lights
🧭Southern Lights.(Aurora Borealis)

The Northern Lights, or the Aurora Borealis, are beautiful dancing waves of light that have captivated people for millennia. But for all its beauty, this spectacular light show is a rather violent event. The aurora borealis appears in many colors ranging from green and pink to red, yellow, and blue.

➤Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei is who coined the name "aurora borealis" in 1619

👀Seeing the northern lights with your own eyes is a bucket-list item for astronomy lovers and travelers alike

👂These are the words also describe the Northern Lights.
Aurora Borealis, Aurora Polaris, Aurora, merry dancers, polar lights.

At any given moment, the sun is ejecting charged particles from its corona, or upper atmosphere, creating what's called the solar wind. When that wind slams into Earth's ionosphere, or upper atmosphere, the aurora is born. In the Northern Hemisphere, the phenomenon is called the northern lights (aurora borealis), while in the Southern Hemisphere, it's called the southern lights (aurora australis).

🌞Energized particles from the sun slam into Earth's upper atmosphere at speeds of up to 😱45 million mph (72 million kph), but our planet's magnetic field protects us from the onslaught.

🌍The bright colors of the northern lights are dictated by the chemical composition of Earth's atmosphere. 

The best time of year to see the northern lights is between September and April, when the sky gets dark enough to see the aurora. (Far northern locales experience the midnight sun, or 24 hours of daylight in the summer.)

The best place to see the northern lights is any destination in the "auroral zone," the area within an approximately 1,550-mile (2,500 kilometers) radius of the North Pole

✨👌Best places to see Northern Lights :-

💢   👇💧Yellowknife, Canada.

       One of the world's best locations to behold the aurora borealis, Canada is home to 80-90% of all accessible land located under the Aurora Oval, the area with the strongest geomagnetic activity—producing the world's brightest and most frequent displays of the northern lights.

💧Abisko, Sweden.
💧Luosto, Finland.
💧Iceland.
💧Siberia, Russia.
💧Fairbanks, Alaska.
💧Tromsø, Norway.
💧Kulusuk, Greenland.
💧Aberdeen, Scotland.

💧The Faroe Islands, Denmark.

 

🕗The Northern Lights most commonly appear between 5:00 pm and 2:00 am. They don't usually exhibit for long – they may only show for a few minutes, then glide away before returning. A good display may last for no longer than 15-30 minutes at a time, although if you're really lucky, they could last for a few hours.

💫"Every type of atom or molecule, whether it's atomic hydrogen or a molecule like carbon dioxide, absorbs and radiates its own unique set of colors, which is analogous to how every human being has a unique set of fingerprints," Teets told Space.com. "Some of the dominant colors seen in aurorae are red, a hue produced by the nitrogen molecules, and green, which is produced by oxygen molecules."

🌃Early astronomers also mentioned the northern lights in their records. A royal astronomer under Babylon's King Nebuchadnezzar II inscribed his report of the phenomenon on a tablet dated to 567 B.C., for example, while a Chinese report from 193 B.C. also notes the aurora, according to NASA.

🔴You can also monitor aurora forecasts from the University of Alaska Fairbanks' Geophysical Institute and NOAA, which offers both three-day and 30-minute forecasts.
