According to the NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center, the best chances to catch the light are especially around midnight, when geomagnetic activity tends to intensify. These vibrant displays are caused by charged particles from the sun colliding with gases in Earth's atmosphere. These colors depend on the altitude and types of gases involved; for instance, red lights occur above 120 miles up due to oxygen atoms.

When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, the results are very clear: sexual immorality, impurity, lustful pleasures, idolatry, sorcery, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, division, envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other sins like these. Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God.
