Northern Lights visible over Netherlands

Subtle show of celestial colours

The Northern Lights were visible over much of the Netherlands on Friday night and could again be visible on Sunday night. The rare sight was caused by a series of solar flares that sent charged particles towards Earth. The particles interact with the Earth's magnetic field, causing the aurora borealis, or Northern Lights.

When to see the Northern Lights

The Northern Lights are usually visible at high altitudes, but they can sometimes be seen at lower latitudes during periods of high solar activity. The best time to see the Northern Lights is during the winter months, when the nights are longer and the sky is darker. Clear skies are also necessary to see the aurora, so it's important to check the weather forecast before heading out.

Conclusion

The Northern Lights are a beautiful and awe-inspiring sight. If you're lucky enough to see them, be sure to take a moment to enjoy the show. This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that you'll never forget.
