Aurora Borealis Aurora Borealis, also known as the Northern Lights, shows up more often than the public realizes here in Maine. Its more classic colors of pink and green are the result of excited atomic oxygen particles entering Earth’s atmosphere at different altitudes after being flung here by solar flares. Look to the northern horizon as far as you can manage under clear, dark sky when all the conditions of solar flare impact align. The pink and green of this colorway fluoresces under black light to mimic the lighted color of its namesake.
