The Northern Lights!
The Northern Lights! What are they? How do we see them? Tonight we will explore how science has discovered the processes that create the aurora in the sky. Learn about the incredible energy that the sun releases second by second, how this energy interacts with the earths atmosphere and gives us a light show like no other..Tonight we cannot guarantee that you will see aurora but they have been observed from the Kielder Observatory many times. Most importantly we will teach you how to find them so that when you leave you will be proficient in knowing when and where to look. After the talk we will have a tour of the facility taking in the telescopes and how they work.
