122…dancing lights

We live on a planet where if we look up at the right time we can see the northern lights or aurora borealis.

“Auroras occur when these charged particles launched along Earth's magnetic field collide with gases in Earth's upper atmosphere.

Those collisions produce tiny flashes that fill the sky with colourful light. This light works the same way as a neon lamp or an old cathode ray tube television set. As billions of flashes occur in sequence, the auroras appear to move or "dance" in the sky.” - Canadian Space Agency

Science is magical.
