To see the Aurora Borealis (northern lights) is to see the meeting between space and Earth. We know today that it's formed where we see it, of particles from the sun colliding with the outer parts of the atmosphere. You can see spectacular eruptions and later in the night, calm pulsating aurora. You can now view the northern lights via a live camera at the Aurora Sky Station by clicking HERE.

More information to visit Aurora Sky Station available HERE.
