Northern lights are a phenomenon of nature that will have you speechless. Why and when does it happen? Can I enjoy it from home? You only need to read this article to find out everything about it. Also, some fun facts await you!<\/h2>\n

It is a rare experience to have the chance to admire an aurora borealis<\/strong> \u2013 looks like magic, doesn\u2019t it? Certainly, I would always say yes. Today I want to investigate every aspect of what an aurora is and what are the best places where to enjoy it from. And if I am stuck at home<\/strong>, how can I experience it anyway?<\/p>\n

WWW: What, When, and Where to admire Northern Lights?<\/h2>\n

I can explain what<\/strong> this phenomenon is, where<\/strong> it mainly occurs. Yet it speaks for itself if you wonder why<\/strong> to go seeking for it. Even though it happens at night, the Sun<\/strong> creates it. How? It is easier than you think, nothing too scientific. Explosions on the sun surface cause particles<\/strong>, which are led by the solar wind towards planets. Mind that not every planet has a magnetic field<\/strong> strong enough to stop these particles. Earth does. By creating a \u201cmagnetic shield\u201d, our skies provide the ideal setting for something astonishing<\/strong> to happen.<\/p>\n

A mesmeric visual effect<\/strong> paints our skies of the brightest colors, an unparalleled experience. As green, blue, and yellow flying dancers. The less light pollution there is, the more astonishing northern lights will be. You need the sky to be as dark as possible. Therefore, the best period to enjoy them is from November<\/strong> to March<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The scientific name should be Aurora Polaris<\/em> since they are a phenomenon typical of the North<\/strong> and South Pole<\/strong> areas. Why? As simple as it can be, in these places our magnetic field is at its peak<\/strong> and most able to stop solar particles. Here we found a very interesting video<\/a> <\/strong>that clearly explains how it works:<\/p>\n
