Alors que tout le monde levait les yeux pour voir les feux d’artifice du Nouvel An, quelques chanceux regardaient le ciel et les aurores boréales qui l’enflammaient.

Les aurores boréales sont provoquées par la collision entre des particules électriquement chargées venues du soleil qui ricochent sur le champ magnétique terrestre au niveau des pôles de la Terre.

Ce phénomène ne peut donc être observé que près du pôle Nord, pour les aurores boréales, et à proximité du pôle sud pour les aurores australes.

Même si les aurores les plus spectaculaires sont probablement observables en Islande, cela n’empêche pas les gens de prendre des photos à partir de tous les autres endroits où ce phénomène est observable dans le monde, comme en témoigne la quantité impressionnante de clichés qu’il est possible de consulter sur les réseaux sociaux.

Who do you want to watch the northern lights aurora with? 🙏🏻 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Photo by:© @eevamakinen taken in Finland🇫🇮❄️ The Northern Lights stem from when large numbers of electrically charged particles (electrons) at high speed stream in towards the Earth along its magnetic field and collide with the highest air particles. The air then lights up rather like what happens in a fluorescent light tube. The resulting colours reflect which gases we find up there, the most usual yellow-green colour coming from oxygen. Red colouring is also due to oxygen with a contribution from nitrogen. The violet we often see at the lower edge of the aurora is due to nitrogen, as is most blue colouring. The charged particles originate from the sun, and it is the 'weather' conditions on the sun that decide whether or not we will see the aurora. Particles can stream out from the sun and some are captured by the Earth's magnetic field and find their way into the polar regions. On the way, they travel out into the night side of the Earth and gain extra energy - we still lack understanding of exactly what happens out there!
