The autumnal equinox is upon us, and vibrant falling leaves aren’t the only things returning to our skies. The aurora borealis, a.k.a. the northern lights, will begin to dazzle in high-latitude skies far more often. But why? Popular Science and UCLA space science professor Robert McPherron answer your questions.

Cpl Vic Burk I saw them twice when I was a kid, once the sky was clear and it was quite a show. The second there was a low hanging fog and I was out hunting down the cows, it sure did look weird, fog so low it looked like I could reach up my hand and touch it, and it was shimmering and dancing green glow. The closest green that I've seen since was the green chem lights that we used in the Army.
