Most people think that the auroras only appear at night. Actually, the auroras are

happening all the time, they are just harder to see during the day. The best time to watch

the auroras is around midnight, when the auroras glow more violently than before. Soon

afterwards, the auroras fade into colorful cloudlike patterns where they swirl and loop

until dawn, when they are overpowered by the bright path of the rising sun.

The aurora borealis follow a specific routine. At twilight, they begin glowing in

the northern part of the sky. After this, the auroras transform into an arc that stretches

about 1000 miles across the sky from east to west. While rippling and spiraling, vertical

rays begin to change colors as their brightness constantly changes. Later, the lights scatter

which makes it seem that the auroras disappear. They then appear in patch-like patterns

for a few hours until they completely disappear.
