Northern lights - a magic spectacle in the sky

Northern lights are a phenomenon that has fascinated people for centuries. Colorful lights illuminating the night sky have already been observed in ancient China or in Greece. Meanwhile, in the 21st century the northern lights are a well-known phenomenon. We can explain the mechanisms that control it. We conduct regular observations and measurements from both the earth and the space. We have mathematical models that help us predict when and where the aurora will appear.
