I was always shit at the finest aspects of english grammer, so I fear I will not be giving a rats ass. [And don't tell me there should have been one in or at the end of the rats because I'm scared to look at them ['] now, and it hurts my brain when I have to think about them.] :) Damn, my mug of tea is empty, away for a cuppa and a fresh air stick.

I think the key bit you missed here is it is actually caused by solar winds on the upper atmosphere resulting in the excitation of the gasses in the atmosphere resulting in the Aurora's illuminating displays. [edited for picky DD, not that it needed to be.]

True, I forgot to mention that, as well as solar wind plays an important part in generation of this outstanding natural display. Solar wind excites the gasses and that causes to emits the photon which illuminates in various colors. Today is the best day to see that fantastic display on northern regions of arctic circle. Green is common color in display while blue is rare, Also it demands the huge amount of patience to observe Aurora and you are on mercy of the nature with clear sky and nice local weather.

Aurora : Northern Lights : Polar Lights It can be view from the very northern areas of earth which nearer to the north poles in last weeks of December. It emits cause of Nitrogen and Oxygen on earth's upper atmosphere. 22 December is the best day to see this polar lights and to watch it can be the experience of the life time. It would be in my wishlist to watch it some day. Check out for more details... Really very interesting. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aurora_%28astronomy%29[^]

I would encourage you to go see them... Growing up in the Canadian prairies, I spent many summer and winter nights outside looking up. We could see them clearly in winter from within the city.(Winnipeg if anyone cares) The best northern lights I ever got to enjoy were in the Whiteshell region along the Manitoba/Ontario provincial border. We would go camping there and go to a beautiful spot around 1 or 2 in the morning. It was an exposed piece of granite about 50 feet above a lake with no obstructions to the view. We could see the entire sky and there were no lights to interfere either. The northern lights on some of these nights would dance across the entire sky. It was truly amazing. Clickey!!! This is the lake. The outcrop we would sit at was just to the left of where this pic is and the rock would jut out into the lake about 30 feet.
I wasn't, now I am, then I won't be anymore.

IMO : It would be the best thing from nature you have ever seen. It really fascinate me. I thought in real it would be mind blowing(even much better in dark sky) as just thinking about it and having visualizing of it in mind is sooo wonderful!!
