Northern Lights (Aurora) In Norway

Aurora, known as the Northern Lights, Polar Lights, Aurora Borealis or Australis, Southern Lights etc as seen in Valldalen in Norway on September 1, 2019. Valldal valley about 1,5 hour driving away from Alesund. The phenomenon of natural light display in the sky of the Earth in high latitude regions near the Arctic and the Antarctic. The fluorescent light in the night sky is the result of a disturbance in magnetosphere caused by the solar wind, altering the trajectories of charged particles in the solar wind and the magnetospheric plasma at the upper atmosphere. The ionization and excitation of atmospheric constituents emit light of varying color and complexity, with the form of the aurora, occurring within bands around both polar regions.
