Aurora borealis, also known as the northern lights, is a natural light display in the Earth's sky, predominantly seen in high-latitude regions (Arctic and Antarctic). Auroras are caused when the magnetosphere is sufficiently disturbed by the solar wind that the atmosphere glows due to ionization from incoming energetic charged particles. Photos show examples of the northern lights from various locations around the world, some including more rare displays with red and blue colors along with the more common green lights.
