Aurora Borealis

Auroras are the result of an interaction between the solar wind and the earth’s magnetic field.
They occur when, following a solar storm, charged particles emanating from the sun are captured by the Earth’s magnetic field and drawn towards the poles at a very high speed. When entering the atmosphere, these particles collide with atoms. The resulting ionization and excitation of atmospheric constituents emit light of varying colour and complexity.

On the second day, even though the sky was not perfectly clear, we managed to see the green colours emanating from the dancing lights above.
It was also interesting to see how the light captured by the camera is sometimes greener than what one can observe with the naked eye.
