Northern lights are also called Aurora Borealis, the dual mythological deities, and the Roman goddess of the dawn Aurora and Boreas Greek god of the north wind. Northern lights are mostly witnessed at night in the high northerly latitudes. Same alike occurrence that appears in the high latitudes of the Southern Hemisphere called the aurora australis. There were only few eyewitness accounts of the aurora australis available before 20th century explorers arrived in Antarctica.
The beautiful and mysterious flowing ribbons, twists and curls on the sky, otherworldly glow, fascinating filmy veils and bright sparkling rays of the aurora borealis continuous presence had hypnotized the northern people for thousands of the years. These fascinating lights had terrified the people of the north especially in Alaska from the thousand years. Some Alaskan Inuit says that they seen the dancing souls of deer, seals, salmon and beluga some of them believes that if they made any sound of whistled the lights might snatch them away and some say that they seen messages from their dead ones on sky dwellers.
The scientists also given so many interpretations same as there are so many from the traditional people who observed the Northern lights. But the 20th century has brought with it studies of the earth’s magnetism and the sun’s workings. The aurora arises in the roiling restless surface of the sun. The sun’s interior is 100,000 times hotter than boiling water; the atoms are cut into small pieces that form the solar gases into thin stream of electrically charged particles-protons and electrons. That forms a solar wind, which continuously erupts from the sun. After bursting from the sun’s surface at speed of up to 500 miles a second with in two or three days the solar wind reaches the earth covering the distance of 93 million miles.
