Aurora Borealis T-Shirt

The Aurora Borealis, also known as the Northern Lights, is a natural light display predominantly seen in high-latitude regions around the Arctic, including parts of Scandinavia, Russia, Alaska, and Canada. This stunning phenomenon occurs when charged particles from the sun, carried by solar wind, collide with gases in Earth's atmosphere, particularly oxygen and nitrogen. These collisions emit light, creating vibrant displays in the sky.

The colors of the Aurora Borealis can vary. Oxygen at about 60 miles up produces a green color, the most common hue of the aurora. Oxygen at higher altitudes, around 200 miles up, can emit a rare red color. Nitrogen molecules can produce blue or purplish-red aurora.

The shapes of these lights can also vary. They might appear as diffuse patches of light, or as streaming rays, arcs, or rippling curtains that light up the sky with an eerie glow. These patterns are often in constant motion because of the changing interactions between the solar wind and the Earth's magnetic field.

The best time to see the Northern Lights is typically during the winter months in the Northern Hemisphere, when the nights are longest and the skies darkest. However, you can enjoy the Northern Lights year round with this T-Shirt.

The T-Shirt itself is the Gildan 5000 shirt, it's a heavy cotton tee with a classic fit.
