The Northern Lights are often referred to as Aurora Borealis, which is the latin name. Aurora Borealis, "morning red in the north”, is said to originate from Galileo Galilei. The Northern Lights have fascinated people through the years, with beautiful color on the night sky. Northern Lights comes from explosions from the sun which causes large amounts of electrically charged particles to be dispensed into outer space.
The particles are electrons and protons that form light when they collide with the gases in the earth's atmosphere. Although the northern lights are created by scientific conditions, there are also many exciting myths and stories. In Norse mythology, the magic phenomenon was described as a colorful bridge connecting heaven and earth.
