You can see northern lights from outer space! They look like they are actually in front of you when you can see them.

A lot of people don't know this but, there are southern lights too! they don't appear as often because they have a higher altitude than the northern lights but they are still there.

# data[].attributes.body
Northern lights are always there but they are only visible to the naked eye in the dark. Because of this people do not realise that they have been in the sky all day long!

Northern lights are some of the most common attractions in the north!

The magnetic field of our earth holds northern lights exactly in place. Have you ever seen tint bits of magnetite clam on to a magnet? Well, that is exactly what happens to the northern lights. click here for a video! (sorry if there is an add.)

Our sun that is 93 million miles away and is still releasing charged particles  into the atmosphere taking only around eight minutes to get in the northern sky.

The earth's magnetic field is weaker on either poles, that is why the northern lights show up where they do. This lighting show usually shows up from 60 to 400 miles above the earth's atmosphere.

The reason that the northern lights only show up in the north has to do with the earths magnetic field. The particles are electrically charged from the sun and they collide with nitrogen and oxygen in the northern sky. That is why the northern lights are visible to the eye.

Northern lights are created between particles. The particles are released by the earths magnetic field and the sun. This is called the magnetosphere, different elements of the periodic table light up in the sky, shining in different colors. The magnetosphere holding them in order.
