Northern lights is the name of a light phenomenon (aurora borealis) often seen in northern regions.

The lights have been around since Earth formed an atmosphere, the dinosaurs saw it, early humans saw it and our descendants will see it. The scientific name for the phenomenon is "Aurora Borealis", aurora for short.

Go as far north as you can go for the best views and you must be away from ambient lighting for a decent view.

Charged particles from the Sun are accelerated by the Earth's magnetic field and the collisions these particles have with atoms of Nitrogen and Oxygen in the upper atmosphere (60 - 90 km up) excite the electrons of the atoms, when the electrons fall back to a lower excitation state they emit light we see this light as the aurora.
