The northen lights is a natural phenomenon called aurora borealis, is created by the sun's super hot atmosphere, wich a blast particles into the protective magnetic field surrounding the Earth.
The Magnetic field forces the particles toward the north and south poles.
About 60 to 200 miles overhead, the particles bump into the earth's atmosphere and become electrically 'excited' - throwing off light of various colors.
Although the phenomenon occurs arround the clock, the lights are only visible at night.
The best time of year to see them is during winter, when darkness in the upper latitudes stretches up to 24 hours.
