Aurora Borealis

also known as
The Northern Lights

An aurora, also commonly known as the polar lights or northern lights, is a natural light display in Earth's sky, predominantly seen in high-latitude regions, such as Norway and Iceland. Auroras display dynamic patterns of brilliant lights that appear as curtains, rays, spirals, or dynamic flickers covering the entire sky.

Here are some interesting facts about the Northern Lights:

• 🌟 Aurora is the Roman goddess of dawn and Boreas is the Greek term for the north wind, hence the name Aurora Borealis.
• 🔭 No two light displays are the same, the colour and patterns always differ. It’s a common misconception the Northern Lights only come out at certain times, however, they’re always there. It’s just the sky conditions that change making them visible.
• 👩‍🚀 Other planets also have their own auroras. Astronomers have witnessed the lights on Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Jupiter.
