SUMMARY: In this segment of “Ask John,” meteorologist John Delk answers a question from River Zarinsky about the Northern Lights. He explains that solar activity, specifically solar flares from the Sun, enters Earth’s atmosphere and interacts with our magnetic field. This interaction affects air molecules, creating different colors in the auroras: red from oxygen at high altitudes, blue from nitrogen at mid-altitudes, and pink from nitrogen at lower levels. The phenomenon is most visible near the poles, as the chances diminish further south due to atmospheric and magnetic field factors. Viewers can submit their questions for future segments.

The Northern Lights are one of the world’s greatest sights. But what causes them?

SUMMARY: In downtown Jackson, a special art piece commemorates veterans, particularly highlighting a returning World War I soldier. The War Memorial building serves as a tribute to soldiers rather than war itself, featuring the Mississippi Unknown Soldiers Monument alongside sculptures by George Albert Rer. These bar reliefs, modeled after Ray Scott, depict the same soldier in various life stages, from combat to homecoming. Completed just before World War II, the building primarily honors earlier battles, with World War II references limited to the elevator panels. On Veterans Day, the Daily Sip expresses gratitude to veterans for their service.
