Auroras, also known as the Northern and Southern Lights, result from the interaction between charged particles from the solar wind and the Earth's magnetosphere. During magnetic reconnection events, energetic particles from the solar wind are guided by the Earth's magnetic field lines towards the polar regions, where they collide with atmospheric gases, producing the colorful light displays characteristic of auroras.
