Aurora

Aurora refers to a natural light display predominantly seen in high-latitude regions around the Arctic and Antarctic. This phenomenon is caused by the interaction of the Earth’s magnetic field with charged particles from the sun, resulting in vibrant colors such as green, purple, red, and blue in the night sky. The term “aurora” can also refer to the Roman goddess of dawn, symbolizing the arrival of light. In a broader context, “aurora” is often used in various disciplines, including astronomy and art, to describe concepts related to light or dawn-like qualities. The most commonly recognized manifestations of aurora are the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) in the northern hemisphere and the Aurora Australis (Southern Lights) in the southern hemisphere.
