(Reuters) – Green, purple, pink and yellow lights danced across the sky in striking aurora displays over northern Finland early on Friday.
Travel magazine &lsquo-All About Lapland&rsquo- posted a video on social media of the impressive light show seen from Pallas, in the Muonio region, adding it had rarely seen anything on this scale.
The Northern Lights are a result of collisions between electrically charged particles from the sun that enter the Earth&rsquo-s atmosphere. A strong geomagnetic storm was behind this week&rsquo-s particularly stunning show.
Known as aurora borealis, or the Northern Lights, in the northern hemisphere, they go by aurora australis, or the Southern Lights, in the southern hemisphere.
