Those Northern Lights are some kind of weird psychic, something?
Yeah.
What causes them to do that?
Well, this is just my guess, but I think that high speed electrons and protons from the sun are trapped in the van Allen radiation belt. Then they're channeled through the Polar Regions by the earth's magnetic field where they collide with other particles and create a brilliant luminosity.
What does that have to do with us?
I swear man, I don't know.
