Modern science has revealed some of the amazing processes that cause these beautiful lights in their many colours\, but there is still more to learn. Aurorae explores the connection between solar activity and northern lights\, highlighting the latest science and looking ahead to the upcoming solar maximum next year. \nEnjoy a visit to the Planetarium with an All Attraction Pass or your Manitoba Museum Membership!
