What are the Northern Lights? [Aurora Borealis Explained]
Have you ever seen the Northern Lights? Curious what the Aurora Borealis is? Or what makes the Northern Lights? Did you know the Southern Lights are known as the Aurora Australis? Dr. Joe Pesce, as astronomer with the U.S. National Science Foundation, sits down to explain how particles from the sun interact with Earth's atmosphere to create this stunning light display near our northern and southern poles. He also explains why 2024 and 2025 will be great times to see these beautiful lights at lower latitudes.

Why do we need a solar physicist
🐙✨🎹♍️🤍🔛😶🌫️➕🕶️✨
but why greeen?
Interesting 🤔
I see. Many species seem to have their turn one year there are loads, then they disappear for years after.
Where is this factory?
Fake news
Who cares! This kind of info is of absolutely benefit to mankind whatsoever!
money making scam for fake scientists for decades 😮
"In which direction we are going. There's no knowing where we're rowing, Or which way the river's flowing! Is it raining, is it snowing?"
Ya that gets send up…cool stuff
The size of this is almost incomprehensible, and the human mind can actually visualize this and learn from it. Maybe we’re inside of God’s brain.
So they would be seeing our dinosaurs
🎉Got it!
I still don't understand how these insects and animals decides these things?
It's silicon not silicone, two totally different things
💯❤👌👏👏👏👏👏
Haarp you mean? We don't believe your b.s. anymore. Artificial crisis to justify totalitarian control. 😮
Thank you for the detailed information 👍
What about all of the xflares we are having now? Radio silence.
Am glad it’s only 60 million light years away, it’s very close to us and can be reached in a few million years .
As Wonderful as a Twin Milkyway, but with a little blue saltwater Taffy perhaps ? Okay, cutting to the Chase, so that Scientists 'can explain this phenomenon to the layman is of another day..But let me try. Let's try by breaking down what consists in a Light Year. Okay, how about this parable? Before the digital age we had in "Hollywood Films" A 35 millimeter Motion Picture Camera that used traditional Cellulose Films that Shot Movies at 16 Frames per second! Which was a marvel back then in the 1930's... ( Which was by the way first perfected in England)...So what does 16 Frames per sec- ond have to do with the price of a Light Year in Space ? I'm glad you brought that up. Well there are 16 Parsecs in One Light Year.. Therefore, do the Math. 16 x 125 million Years.. And this way, we can begin to under- stand how many Trillions , hence Zillions of Parsecs there are in the distances between us and the Galaxies we want to figure out, even if you're just a novice ( a curious on- looker), if you like .. Then once you see which Numbers are Significant that help breakdown the enigma of the "Light Year", we will introduce some more Vocabularies that are thrown around in Astronomy... The Spacial Quadrant Sector... Now, you may have heard this word used in "Battle Intergalactica" that Aired from England a few decades ago, ( a scifi. skit) that was created for Television, even though it never caught on due to usage of enormous vocabularies...All they needed was a parable to explain as The Messiah would say...
Wow that's cool
Seems the far out they go , we do not exist
bro why are you wasting so much salt
The universe it self is inside the blackhole
The universe is so vast because it was designed to be too big for the human virus to traverse, stopping us from wrecking things beyond our own planet.
Hmm! Nothing to do with recent HAARP activities then?
Practical work bring result
Hate AI commentary
im in to next level: electron microscope to electron telescope. ❤❤❤❤ #observatory
Wow, that's fast!
How could that be I thought they had solar satellites almost on top the sun and if your getting a better picture from much more distance place what does that tell you about the satellite?
Are they coming to south Norway?
Do any of y’all not realize this is a fake video where are all the billions and trillions of Stars
This is a magnetogram images
How come there is not one single star in the background anywhere but when they try to convince us there’s an outer space they show stars when you look up at the sky from planet earth you see stars So you mean to tell me and expect me to believe that once you get to the sun anything That there isn’t anything behind it there’s no more stars…
Nothing that we don't know already.
This isn't correct
Maybe this’ll slow the companies that use child slaves down a little
This is why GMOs are a good thing
so far
Very much Brain Stuff.
seems this one never has seen a quasar? we live in a quasar... think of it and meditate on it and i ll bet u ll find this answer... simple math...
😢 childhood, where did you gooooooooooooooo????
