This simulator app allows you to meditatively watch a simulation of the aurora borealis in the sky. Combined with snow and wind, it creates a realistic effect of nature. Northern Lights is an atmospheric optical phenomenon, the glow of the upper atmospheres of planets, resulting from the interaction of the planet's magnetosphere with charged solar wind particles. Control the snow, wind and turn on day or night mode. We recommend using headphones for maximum immersion in the atmosphere! How to play: - Choose 1 of 6 locations from the main menu. - Enjoy the beauty of the polar lights. - Control the snow and wind sounds with the buttons at the bottom - Add relaxing music by selecting the appropriate icon at the bottom left.
