The aurora borealis (northern lights) and aurora australis (southern lights) are caused by charged particles from the sun interacting with the Earth's magnetic field and atmosphere. When these particles collide with atoms and molecules in the atmosphere, they emit light, creating the colorful displays seen in the sky.

What are the Aurora bells?

Aurora Bells refers to one of the sounds that people report hearing when a particularly robust aurora borealis is observed. It has long been reported that the Northern Lights (aurora borealis) also produce sound. In 2012 strange "clapping" noises were recorded by scientists studying this phenomena. These seem to be generated at 200 or 300 feet (70 to 100 meters) above the ground. The scientific results vindicate folktales and informal reports. This has led to several scientific explanations for the sounds being offered without a great body of evidence to explain it in detail.
