Star Trails, Aurora Borealis & Meteors over Canada

Star Trails, Aurora Borealis & Meteors over Canada

Happy Easter from Friends of NASA!

Auroras happen when charged particles from the Sun interact with Earth's magnetic field, creating dazzling light shows in the sky. The aurora borealis, also known as the northern lights, occurs in an upper layer of Earth’s atmosphere called the ionosphere.
