The Northern Lights appear in many forms: There may be a fleeting streak of spectral light across the night sky or an extended display of dazzling multicolored waves and flashes, ranging in color from green (the most common) to various shades of red, blue and purple. The lights are caused by collisions between charged particles that enter the Earth’s atmosphere and emit flickering light.
