This is amazing. I wanted to go to Iceland this January to see the Northern Lights. Apparently this year is the brightest for 40 years!

I think it's light refracting off the atmosphere... More visible the closer you get to either pole... Might be wrong though and cba googling...

Found this. I don't think this could be explained in a few words! lol. interesting stuff.
What exactly are the Northern Lights? The Northern Lights stem from when large numbers of electrically charged particles (electrons) at high speed stream in towards the Earth along its magnetic field and collide with the highest air particles. The air then lights up rather like what happens in a fluorescent light tube. The resulting colours reflect which gases we find up there, the most usual yellow-green colour coming from oxygen. Red colouring is also due to oxygen with a contribution from nitrogen. The violet we often see at the lower edge of the aurora is due to nitrogen, as is most blue colouring. The charged particles originate from the sun, and it is the weather conditions on the sun that decide whether or not we will see the aurora. Particles can stream out from the sun and some are captured by the Earths magnetic field and find their way into the polar regions. On the way, they travel out into the night side of the Earth and gain extra energy

It's been good recently due to a solar storm. Apparently it should have been visible at the top end of Scotland over the past few weeks.

I've seen them from Canada when I was out there on an exercise and they were great but not as good as those vids
