麻豆约拍

Even if you haven鈥檛 seen them in person, you might be familiar with images of the Northern Lights - dark skies with moving ribbons of green and purple. But what actually are they? And why do we seem to be seeing more of them in 2024?

麻豆约拍 science presenter Caroline Steele answers loads of questions about the Northern Lights, like why are they different colours and when and where are the best times to see them? We also chat about the Southern Lights and ask why don鈥檛 people talk about them as much?

And 21 year old photographer Hugo Korhonen from Finland tell us what it鈥檚 like to see the Northern Lights in person and how you can take the best photos of them.
