Gases in the atmosphere, typically oxygen and nitrogen, collide with charged particles from the sun. As a result, light is emitted at various wavelengths.The aurora is drawn towards the polar regions of the Earth. As a result you might not be able to see it directly overhead, but as it happens so high in sky look towards the northern horizon where it's likely to be dancing.but cameras tend to capture it better. This is because cameras can adapt to different wave lengths better than our eyes.
