Aurora in the sky

There is a phenomenon taking place on our planet that many people would like to see – but few have the chance to see it live. All because, to observe it, the best thing is to be close to the poles of the Earth. It can be from the South Pole or North Pole. Whatever. After all, the only thing that changes is the name of the event. In regions near the North Pole, it is called the aurora borealis; in locations near the South Pole, austral aurora. Both, however, are equal in beauty. Thanks to them, the night sky takes on colors. A remarkable and intriguing spectacle!
