Active sun on a polar night

Look at what the northern lights played out yesterday over the "Arctic Circle"! Flashes rolled across the sky, then flooding the entire blackness to the horizon with translucent green, then gathering into a bright clot, throwing waves of light in all directions.

What do you need to see the Northern lights?

1. Sufficient solar wind power.

2. Dark time of day.

3. Clear sky.

4. It is necessary to go outside and look up.
