@russiamotherland: Aurora Borealis 🌌 Murmansk is the capital of the Northern Lights. Many people from all over the world come here every year, for the first time in their lives to see it. Catching the Polar Lights is great luck! The best place to hunt for the Northern lights in Russia is Murmansk Region, which occupies the Kola Peninsula. The city of Murmansk is easily accessible by plane or train from Moscow and St. Petersburg. Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) is the northern version of Aurora Polaris - a natural phenomenon occurring when electrically charged particles (protons and electrons) from the Sun collide with gases in Earth's atmosphere, emitting light as the result. The amount of light largely depends on the number of arriving particles and their energy. #Russia #auroraborealis #northenlights #murmansk #russian #polar #discover #beautifull #Россия #северноесияние #аврора #мурманск #север #красиво #териберка
