Please turn on the lights! No, not those! The northern lights!

The northern lights, also known as the Auroras are beautiful streams of light that roam the night sky in northern or southern regions of the earth. This effect is thought to be caused by charged particles so the chance of visibility increases with proximity to the North Magnetic Pole. This picturesque site inspired some of our colorful backgrounds that will be cycling through our site. Although the Auroras are typically only green and red, we added more colors so this otherworldly effect won’t go to waste and can be experienced in more colors!

Also please don’t deprive yourself of viewing this spectacular scene and watch this time span of the northern lights.
