The Aurora Borealis: A Captivating Celestial Display
Unveiling the Northern Lights
As the sun dips below the horizon, a celestial spectacle unfolds in the northern sky. Luminescent streaks of green, blue, and golden lights dance gracefully across the heavens, painting an ethereal canvas that has captivated humankind for centuries.
Aurora Borealis Season
The Aurora Borealis season in the northern polar latitudes of Alaska, northern Canada, Greenland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Siberia runs from August to March. During these months, the Earth's atmosphere is primed for interactions with charged particles from the sun that create these mesmerizing displays.
Visible Across the Globe
While the Northern Lights are most often seen in the Earth's northernmost regions, they might also be visible as far south as northern California, Denver, Colorado, and the Outer Banks of North Carolina on particularly active nights.
