- Explore the science behind what causes the incredible light and color of the Aurora Borealis and Aurora Australis.
--
Why do we see those stunning lights in the northern- and southernmost portions of the night sky? The Aurora Borealis and Aurora Australis occur when high-energy particles are flung from the Sun's corona toward the Earth and mingle with the neutral atoms in our atmosphere -- ultimately emitting extraordinary light and color. Michael Molina explains every step of this dazzling phenomenon.

I like how the intro was so intense and then suddenly became scientific and casual
Yeah man Glad that you noticed that (sorry this comment is like 3 year late)
@@samjerick894 better late than never habibi
lmao forreals good intro
YESS FRR
E
Aurora lights is something that I want to see once in a lifetime. 😁
You don't even have to travel to see the Aurora Borealis. Just leave your burnt roast in the oven for long enough and watch your kitchen transform into the northern lights.
Tommy Dee he is serious
I agree with her that aurora light is something that one must seen once,
I saw it.. and now I miss it every night :(
@@Fuckyourselfgoogle The total solar eclipse that came to the United States in 2017 a couple of years ago was the best thing in my life because it was just a "budget" trip away from where I live. Glad I got to see that and now it is over. Aurora is my next celestial event I have to see in my lifetime!
Let's just take a brief break and appreciate the awesome animation.
E
0:49 I really want that as a wallpaper
Maryam e
then screenshot it
Yeah
Sees Corona.
Coughs intensely
i was just about to comment this lol
@@botjack7235 me too
@BOT Jack same
This animation seems really hard to make leave a like to appreciate the animators and the narrator and everyone who took part in this video
E
it is amazing, the more i am learning about the world the more i am realizing that it is all connected, and i realize how magnificent the world truly is in its complex simplicity.
I’m actually here for both lol right now we’re in the aurora for the beginning of June 2024
Who's here because of the G5 flare, 11 May, 2024????
ayo
🤘
yes I am
G4 flare right?
May 11 is my birthday 🎉😂
This is the most simplest nd detailed explanation of Auroras i've seen on internet. Thanks for sharing your knowledge ♥️
Anyone's here because of the recent geomagnetic storm?
2:42 go home, Earth, you’re drunk
@Aziz Omi what about you
Hilarious!
How dare u call me drunk ರ╭╮ರ
I was so relieved when the narrator's voice changed........
Aurora Borealis?!
At this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the country, localized entirely in your kitchen?
Yes.
mother, it`s just northern lights
2:45 I'd hardly call the distance from the sun to here "across the galaxy." But then again, we also seem to be having trouble telling the difference between a high-five and a fist-bump.
Ahahahaha
1:16 my first reaction: "oh c'mon" **check's release date**
Wow that was so amazing, it helped me understand the concept of Auroras with good imagination. Thanks a lot!!
Who's here because of the aurora in may?
your every educational video is daily dose for me, I mean there is so much to learn everything around us. TED keep enlightening us with knowledge.
Wow. This was actually amazingly clear. Kudos, Mr. Molina, you're good!
Watching in May 2024
Whatever it was....I loved the animation😇😀
Oh God☝️
How beautiful the world is!😇
Adorable!! Thanks very much for creating this video! It helps in visualizing these concepts.
Well, this has totally changed me perspective on magnetism and my old opinion on how auroras work
This was awesome..the animation , the simplified explanation ! Kudos 👏👏👏
CHILE ARGENTINA
That's what makes you an awesome person. Gotta love learning.
I ain’t dying until i see this with my own eyes.
Have to appreciative the animation it was of 8 years ago
No matter how much older I get I will always gonna enjoy this kinda educational videos :) Btw the animation is so cute :)
I'm digging these animations, use it more often!
muito obrigada pela legenda em português! Amei como vocês explicaram tudo direitinho com pelo use de desenhos. Deu para entender tudo certinho. Parabens pelo trabalho! :)
How do you explain the aurora borealis inside Skinner's kitchen?
Richard Hannay It happens in a specific time of the year, a specific time of day, and localised entirely within a specific part of a country.
It just hit me on how we just trust that scientists know the structure of the sun
beautiful
well explained
loved it
keep it up
I used to be obsessed to this kind of stuff in 9th grade beginning of high school!
this channel taught me more than I have ever been taught in school
OMG!!! The Earth is so cute!
It's creepy AF. Lol.
Hahaha
It reminds me of 5 nights at freddy's
When i heard corona😳😳😳
I agree. I wonder if Ted has any plans for a community subtitle feature so that viewers could submit, vote on and share the best subtitles.
Wow the Aurora Borealis. All of that able to happen at this time of year, at the time of day, in this part of the country, localized entirely within Skinner's kitchen
This is actually untrue. Aurora Borealis only occurs, and is localised entirely, within Seymour's kitchen.
We got northern light today in Tennessee it was beutiful🎉
Anyone after corona?
All Ted-ed Videos I ever saw - Great Animation, Soothing music, But I did not understand a word the narrator told.
well explained concept and beautifully designed animation
Watching this for the first time stoned and on 0.5 speed is just an awesome experience
...grtt wrkk👌👌👌especially the animation♥♥👌🤘
Thank you so much for explaining everything clearly ^^
CHILE ARGENTINA
This one of the best animations of TedEd👍.
Thx ❤this make my dancing lights of norway exhibition information more.easy
very very very nice documentary animation for families and babies, my best compliments
It’s 7am and I just have to say this animation was fantastic and very informative
CHILE ARGENTINA
Anyone else here after the northern lights this weekend?
I've seen it when I lived in the North of Russia. Absolutely stunning (but very cold).
CHILE ARGENTINA
Metric is the system of science, be nice to the metric, use it :)
I dont get it why the US use imperial system measurement...none of physics formulas that I know uses imperial system, all use metric
@@ksuma715 scientists in America use metric so it's not as if it's never used but for everyone who isn't a scientist at their work, metric isn't how it's done. It would be a gargantuan of a task to convert all if America from one to the other.
Best ted-ed video.
I love the animation & the aurora topic
Just saw it for the first time with my Wife❤
Mother nature's greatest show and its something you'll never forget! Strong auroras are best! Everyone should see the northern lights
Wish to see.😌

This is the cutest sciency video I have seen in a long time. Those high-fiving protons and oxygen + nitrogen molecules. Sigh! Cute AF. This is what makes learning fun. Animation and smart teaching.
"A-aurora borealis, at this time of year at this time of day in this part of the country localized entirely within your kitchen?!"
Thanks the animation makes things very easy to understand and hopefully retain for long. 🎉❤
Mind blowing sound effects
The Animation is Strong in This One!
What an awesome channel! It's very useful.
The Life-side of Aurora,
is korrespondance with other Planet-Being,
half of earth quakes and volcano erution,
might also be effect of korrespondance,
between Macro-Beings.
Great Video
Haha that Corona part hits different in 2020
that's pretty amazing! gonna go look up the sun's activity now :)
Thank you univers
Saw it yesterday, so goodamn beautiful
In awe of the animation and simple explanation 🍬
CHILE ARGENTINA
Awesome animation....
Before 2020 few people know what is a corona, but in 2022 a child know what is corona, but in different meaning😀😀
Aurora Borealis?! At this Time of Year, At this time of Day, In this part of the country, Localized entirely within your Kitchen!?
The narrator literally went from intimidating to just casual in a matter of seconds
Amazing animation!!! Please make more
the narrator was speaking so fast it was a bit confusing, thank god for the animation.
your voice is amazingg.......
I love science! 🥰🥰🥰 stunning!
a magnificent event to witness
Hahaha...I love the intro
kirby march Barcena whats so funny about it?
great work!!!
Everytime I watch an explanation for the aurora, it's something different from the previous. It's just like physicians' opinion on whether eggs are good for your health or not.

Their opportunity to continue the journey down to the atmosphere
2.12
comes when the magnetosphere is overwhelmed by a new wave of travelers.
This event is coronal mass ejection,
2.17
and it occurs when the Sun shoots out
2.19
a massive ball of plasma into the solar wind.
2.22
When one of these coronal mass ejections collides with Earth,
2.25
it overpowers the magnetosphere and creates a magnetic storm.
That was so fantastically made! Great quality!
Wonderful illustration
Watching aurora in real life is one of the things in my bucket list 😁
CHILE ARGENTINA
I still just want to see an Aurora......
Sure you can, just watch the movie Passengers. There you can see *Star-Lord* waking up Aurora aka Mystique and Katniss Everdeen.
Ah man
Seriously..?
She is serious
Just visit a place high on latitudes and on a dark night 🌃 you won't be disappointed 👍
Though you would only be able to see a white curtain hanging on.
Wow what a perfect explanation great...
Aurora Borealis (in the N. hemisphere) and Australis (in the S. hemisphere) are arranged by one of the parts of the song called "All the Works of Nature Which Adorn The World - Aurorae" by Nightwish. It lasts 2 mins 07 secs. I love it.
CHILE ARGENTINA
the mechanism that you see in aurora borealis is actually exactly the same as to what you know as FLAME. but without the chemical reaction. while inside atmosphere that same mechanism occurs in burning materials has chemical reaction that has its elements reacts and interchange its positions between all the "excited" particles. that chemical reaction CONSUMES other elements, the reactive FUELS. unlike aurora borealis, which is a standing still flame that does not have chemical reaction.
thats why i said, my fire is like aurora borealis. my flame does NOT CONSUMES. the ORANGE flame you see on earth inside atmosphere are most of the time those chemical reactions that CONSUMES which disturbs the light emission pulses. ORANGE from having a lower rate of high energy activity. like in any light signals. the slower it pulses in frequency the lower the color spectrum is.
energy emission rate in chemical reactions is slower than energy emission of a standing still particles at the upper atmosphere layer that lit up without any other reaction disturbing it. thus you see the light in a much higher color spectrums like neon green and often violet blueish or pink/purple colors in aurora.
-
so can you say aurora borealis is a "firestorm"? to some extent that can be relevant, but considering the particles that are LIT and becomes the flame arent travelling, its not a storm. it has no motion. motion you see in the aurora pattern are not the oxygens and nitrogens moving around, its the coming high energy agents(proton/electron) that are coming in waves. making the lit oxides and nitrogen look like its moving. its similar to a fixed arrays of LED that are being lit in wave patterns. the LED itself dont move around. the energy that goes through them is instead.
im similar to that. im a flame that dont consume. and im standing still. its the energy that moves. as for HEAT, i rather be a "heat" that are emitting a clean signal. like INFRA RED. the "hidden emission". for all the underdogs.
Amazing work
Amazing animation and explanation.
When I was still young, my sister watched a movie about earth, she told me the story and then there's a part of the story where aurora showed up and she said sleeping beauty's pictures showed up everywhere
Wow. This is amazing
Awesome animation
Thank you so much!
Well done something complex made easy
