Northern Lights at Brainerd Rental Cabin
The northern lights can be exceptional at our cabin rental in Brainerd Minnesota. The lack of light pollution allows guests the opportunity to witness this beautiful natural phenomenon at our Minnesota Brainerd rental cabin under the best possible conditions available. Cabin guests can also see dozens of star comsitalations typically not seen in locations near towns. This is due to the total darkness of the skies above our Brainerd Lakes cabin.
Sky North of Brainerd MN Cabin
Minnesota folklore claims the northern lights are caused by Paul Bunyan and his big blue ox, Babe. Legend states that Paul and Babe decided to move north after the great logging boom in Minnesota was over. The two of them settled down in a big log cabin somewhere near the North Pole. The northern lights are the result of Paul and Babe wrestling in the snow. The bright flashes of light are the just the moon reflecting off of all the ice crystals that get kicked up when one tosses the other into the snow. The real cause has a little more to do with science and solar flares from the sun. The northern lights are the result of solar flares striking the Earth’s magnetic field.

The eerie waves of colors are produced when the flare's radiation energizes the magnetic field and bounces back into space. These cosmic collisions can produce a variety of colors. We have seen pinks, greens, purples, and yellows in the skies above the rental cabin in Brainerd Minnesota. The intensity of colors depends on the size and duration of the solar flare. The best thing about the northern lights at our Brainerd Lakes cabin rental is the light show is never the same. Sometimes the waves of light can be very pronounced, other times more subtle, while other times the whole sky pulses. The best direction to witness northern lights at the Brainerd cabin rental is straight north. The fire ring behind the rental cabin provides an excellent vantage point. The lights will dance in the nighttime sky above the maple trees.
