The Aurora Borealis (“Northern Lights”) or their southern counterpart the Aurora Australis are spectacularly colorful night-time displays, located above the Earth’s magnetic poles in the northern and southern hemispheres. Auroral displays can exhibit many colors, the most common being green or red...
northern polar lights, polar lights, and more. An aurora borealis is light seen in the sky, nearly always at night, in the northern hemisphere, commonly green but also red and (rarely) other colors; often in the shape of curtains, sheets, or a diffuse glow (when seen from the ground)....
@ladybugThank you!! Which one is more preferable at your discretion?
We know more about the Aurora Borealis, than ever, but we are still learning what causes it, and we now know the light show can interfere with technology.
Aurora borealis. Each appearance of the northern lights is unique. Often you see three green bands across the night sky. Or the lights come as flickering curtains or rolling smoke. The color is a luminous green, often with a hint of pink along the edge, and occasionall...
In watching aurora borealis, the moon phases must also be considered since the bright full moon could fill the night sky with light. The local weather forecast must also be checked because the aurora cannot be spotted through the clouds. ...
Will I be able to see aurora borealis when I visit in a few months? It is not possible to predict auroral activity very far in advance. As solar activity increases and decreases in 11 year cycles, the forecast is less predictable, the further away from maximum activity we are. Forecasts ...
upperatmosphere, creating thesolar wind. When that wind slams into Earth'sionosphere, or upper atmosphere, the aurora is born. In the Northern Hemisphere, the phenomenon is called the northern lights (aurora borealis), while in the Southern Hemisphere, it's called the southern lights (aurora ...
MALE PROFESSOR: OK. The aurora. The aurora refers to the rays of bright colors in the night sky near the North and South Poles—in the Northern Hemisphere it’s called the aurora borealis and in the Southern Hemisphere it’s called the aurora australis.You’ve probably seen pictures of it...
A transmitter emits an ultrasonic pulse that creates an 80 degree cone of sound at 6 feet. Echoes from objects within the cone are perceived as sounds that vary in pitch and volume with the size and distance of the object. The closer an object is, the lower the pitch, and the larger...
