Facts about Northern lights

  • The term "aurora" refers to the dawn-like glow often observed during the display, while "borealis" signifies its northern location.
  • Earth isn’t the only planet with auroras. It can be also be seen at Jupiter, Saturn, Mars, Uranus and Neptune.
  • Auroras constantly change shape
