    Hi Ladies..

    Have you all heard of Aurora Borealis and Aurora Australis..?? If not.. read more..

    This is not a work of photoshop or any photo editor.. This is a true spectacle happening in the sky over the magnetic north and south pole...

    Aurora Borealis(Northern lights) and Aurora Australis(Southern lights) are swirling, glowing colours and flickering lights that dance across the night sky. The lights are mostly green and form arcs across the sky, or wispy curtains of travelling light. The Aurora occur when electrically charged particles from the Sun collide with the Earth’s upper atmosphere. These particles get trapped in the Earth’s magnetic field. Here, they collide with other small particles and these small electrical charges create moving bands of light.

    People travel from all over the world to see the northern lights. Those who are lucky enough to be looking for them on a very dark and clear night see the lights at their brightest. The lights are at their most frequent in late autumn and winter/early spring.
