Mesmerizing Time Lapse Of Fascinating Northern Lights Over Alberta In Canada

Have you ever wondered what are Northern lights? When charged particles from the sun strike atoms in Earth's atmosphere, they cause electrons in the atoms to move to a higher-energy state. When the electrons drop back to a lower energy state, they release a photon: light. This process creates the beautiful aurora or Northern lights.
