Aurora Borealis is Latin for Northern Dawn, and is otherwise known as the Northern Lights. The phenomena is caused by electrons in the sky effecting the earth’s magnetic field, and the lights emanate from the Polar regions. The “dancing” auroras can be seen in the northern hemisphere between September/October and March/April (around the equinox months). Its southern counterpart, Aurora Australis, has similar properties - Australis being the Latin word for of the south.
