Auroras are caused by the bombing of the upper atmosphere by charged particles moving to the land along the geomagnetic field lines of the adjacent space, called plasma layer.

Photographer Frances Anderson kindly shared picture of this beautiful natural phenomenon, which he took in Tuktoyaktuk, Northwest Territories, Canada.
