Aurora Borealis
The Northern Lights were given their scientific name ‘Aurora Borealis’ by the Italian Mathematician & Astronomer, Galileo, in 1619.
Aurora Borealis translates from Latin to ‘The Red Dawn of the North’.
But these glowing streaks have a wider colour spectrum and in addition to red, may be green, blue or violet.
Ancient man believed the Aurora Borealis to be the reflection of huge fires, whilst mythology tells us that the Aurora Borealis showed God lighting up the cold and dark places on our planet.
