When I lived in Alaska we would stand outside as long as we could to watch the most spectacular show of mother nature. They (the northern lights) only come in winter and it is fricking cold outside.

Cuando vivía en Alaska nos parariamos afuera por tan tiempo como podiéramos para ver el show más espectacular de la madre naturaleza. Ellos (los luces del norte) solo vengan en invierno y hace un chingo de frío afuera.

Where in Alaska did you live, gringo? - AnnRon, Mar 19, 2016
I was stationed at Ft. Richardson outside of Anchorage for 3 years. - gringojrf, Mar 19, 2016
Ah, my son-in-law was stationed there in the late 90s. It's what brought us to Alaska to visit. Hubby fell in love with the state and the rest is history. - AnnRon, Mar 19, 2016
So where are you in Alaska? - gringojrf, Mar 19, 2016
Kenai Peninsula. - AnnRon, Mar 20, 2016
Homer or Seward. Great salmon fishing and kink crabbing. - gringojrf, Mar 20, 2016
nos parábamos afuera por tanto tiempo como podíamos..solo vienen en invierno... :) - Pablo064, Mar 20, 2016

Debe ser un gran experiencia de ver esta luz maravillosa, pero in Europa podemos ver in Noruega o en cualquier lugar en alrededor del polo ártico.

It should be a great experience to see this wonderful light, but in Europe we can see it in Norway or anywhere around the arctic pole.

Sólo otro día aburrido en el paraíso, si se llama el paraíso temperaturas bajo cero y se sentada en hielo. Pero las luces son hermosas, no importa donde se los ve.

Just another ho-hum day in Paradise, if you call subzero temperatures and sitting on ice Paradise. But the lights are beautiful no matter where one sees them.

Cuando partículas cargadas que vienen del sol interactúan con moléculas en la atmósfera de la tierra, pueden excitarlas (causar que se trasladen las los electrones a una órbita con un nivel de energía más alto). Cuando estas moléculas pierden esta energía, la emiten en forma de luz. Donde este proceso ocurre es influido por la magnetósfera y por eso suele suceder cerca de los polos.

When charged particles that come from the sun interact with molecules in the Earth's atmosphere, they can excite them (cause the electrons to move to an orbit with a higher energy level). When these molecules lose this energy, they emit it in the form of light. Where this process occurs is influenced by the magnetosphere and so it usually happens near the poles.

From "The Cremation of Sam McGee" . By Robert W Service.

The Northern Lights have seen queer sights,
But the queerest they ever did see
Was that night on the marge of Lake Lebarge
I cremated Sam McGee.

De "La Cremación de Sam McGee".
Por Robert W Service.

Las luces del norte se han visto cosas extrañas,
Pero el más extraño que ellas ha visto
Fue esa noche en la playa del lago Labarge
Me cremado Sam McGee.
