What exactly are the Northern Lights? The Northern Lights happen when large numbers of electrically charged particles (electrons) at high speed stream in towards the Earth along its magnetic field and collide with the highest air particles. The air then lights up for a spectacular show.  That’s why they are often referred to as “nature’s magic”.
