EXTRA VIDEO PT.2
Professor of space physics, Eija Tanskanen, tells how to see how probable Aurora Borealis are in the coming night. She explains what is interplanetary magnetic field, the speed of solar wind, and active regions of the sun "sun spots".

This is an extra of our full docureportage "They Can Predict Aurora Borealis With Science" where we visited the Sodankylä Geophysical Observatory to learn how is it to study auroras. Watch the docureportage here to get a full explanation of auroras:    • Video
