Wondering what causes the Northern Lights? Auroras come about thanks to collisions between charged gas particles in our planet's atmosphere. The particles originate with the sun, blown here by solar winds whenever a gap in the sun's atmosphere – like a sunspot – lets the electrons and protons flow out. These charged particles are mostly deflected by Earth's magnetic field but it is weaker at the poles, so some particles get through to create the auroras we know and love.
