The Beautiful Aurora Lights

Hello Fellow Bloggers!

Its the last day of the term, which means the last blog post of the term :<. But do not worry after two weeks I will be back :>. Anyway, we have been learning about Auroras, an aurora is a natural light display in the sky, usually of greenish color but sometimes red or blue.

This usually occurs in areas known as the 'auroral zone' near the poles of the Arctic in the north and Antarctic in the south.

In Southern hemisphere latitudes, the effect is known as the aurora australis (or the Southern Lights).

Auroras are associated with the solar winds that flow past Earth. These winds flow out from the Sun and contain plasma particles (ionized gas) that get pulled into the Earth's magnetic pole fields.

As they accelerate towards the Earth, collisions occur between these ion particles and nitrogen and oxygen atoms in our atmosphere, releasing energy in the form of amazing aurora lights.  

We made art related to the Aurora Lights, here is mine.

I really like it and I hope you do too, we added the Matariki stars in there as well, have you ever seen the Matariki stars or the Aurora Lights? Anyway, see you after the holidays, bye!
