How beautiful is the Aurora Borealis?

Answer 1

We see them here in MI in the winter. They can be dim at times. At other times they are awesome, the whole sky can light up with streams of red, blue, and green. Pictures can never do it justice.

Answer 2

I take it you have never seen the display of northern lights. It is one of the best shows nature puts on. If you live very much south of the Canadain border in North America you probably cannot see them. If you live in a metropolitan area with light pollution the same applies. I have seen them in northern Maine, and over Reykjavik Iceland. The latter spot (directly below the lights) was the best.

Answer 3

It's definitely beautiful..

I was lucky enough to see it as far south as northern Arizona one night driving on the freeway. The northern sky was filled with sheets of pale white and green that danced along the sky. I had to stop the car, pull off the road and watch for several minutes.

Answer 4

Auroras (or aurorae) are natural colored light displays, which are usually observed in the night sky, particularly in the polar zone. Some scientists therefore call them "polar auroras" (or "aurorae polaris").

They are very beautiful. If you want to see some pictures please visit

Answer 5

I have seen them on rare occasions from Nebraska and Wyoming. Very hard to describe, and pictures don't do it justice. If you ever see a good display, you'll know what I mean.
