Lights from the aurora borealis streak across the sky high above the pine trees near Allen Army Airfield, AK, Nov. 4, 2021. Aurora borealis, also known as the Northern Lights, occur when gas emissions from the sun collide with the Earth’s magnetic fields, creating currents of charged particles, which produce colorful “curtains” of light when exposed to oxygen and nitrogen high in the Earth’s upper atmosphere.
