This year, a particularly active solar cycle has resulted in more frequent and intense displays. 

This photo was taken in the Abana district of the northern Kastamonu province.

Another photo was captured in the Kocaali district of the northern Sakarya province. 

Aurora Borealis, commonly known as the northern lights, occurs due to the interaction between Earth's magnetic field and charged particles from the Sun.

Aurora Borealis occurs around 60 to 250 kilometers above the Earth when particles from the Sun enter and become trapped in the Earth's magnetic field.

These particles collide with gas molecules in the atmosphere, becoming colored and spreading across the sky.

The colors of the northern lights are determined by the type of atoms involved in the collision and the energy generated from the impact.
