Aurora Borealis over Sweden | Earth Science
Astrophotographer P-M Hedén: "Beautiful! This sight is not so common from my home town, zenith Aurora!"
Also known as the northern lights (aurora borealis) or southern lights (aurora australis), auroras are colorful, dynamic, and often visually delicate displays of an intricate dance of particles and magnetism between the Sun and Earth called space weather. When energetic particles from space collide with atoms and molecules in the atmosphere, they can cause the colorful glow that we call auroras.
