MAGNETIC STORM

by Kim Poor

The Aurorae or Northern Lights, are a spectacular sight in the Earth's polar regions. High-energy plasmas from solar eruptions dance along Earth's magnetic field lines, which converge near the poles.

The Aurorae can manifest itself in many different colors and shapes. Here the "green curtains" are seen, which often flow and flicker during auroral displays.
