    What causes Aurora Borealis?

    • The "standard" aurora borealis, observable in the Arctic regions, is generated by the solar wind, which constantly flows toward Earth. It manifests itself into a large "ring" above Earth's geomagnetic North Pole and is known as the aurora oval. During times of heightened solar activity, the aurora oval can expand more southern latitudes.
