At the center of our solar system lies the sun. The sun as the star rotates on its axis. When these fields become knotted together, they burst and create so-called sunspots. Usually, these sunspots occur in pairs.
The colors most often associated with the aurora borealis are yellow, blue, violet, and occasionally orange, white, pink, and green. Increased space weather activity creates larger and more frequent light shows. The larger the light show the farther down south the “northern lights” can be seen.
