Northern Lights or Aurora Borealis are caused by charged particles in the Earth's magnetosphere colliding with atoms and molecules in the upper atmosphere when the solar wind collides with the edge of the Earth's magnetic field
These spectacular photographs, taken from Spaceweather.com, capture the beauty of the Northern Lights, or Aurora Borealis. Sylvain Serre took this picture in Salluit, Nunavik, Quebec, Canada, on March 25 2009
Another of Sylvain's pictures, taken the same night. Auroras are most often seen around the spring and autumn equinox
They are most often seen in Canada, Alaska, Siberia, Greenland and the Scandinavian countries, though they can also be witnessed in northern Scotland.
