About Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis)

The Aurora Borealis is a Latin designation for the Northern Lights, the celestial light phenomenon often observed in the night sky during the winter season, usually in the polar zone.

The Aurora Borealis or Northern Lights are undoubtedly one of the most spectacular and beautiful of nature’s phenomena. In classic mythology, Aurora was the Roman goddess of the dawn; while “boreal” is a Latin word, meaning "north." The southern hemisphere’s equivalent of the Northern Lights is the Aurora Australis.
