Finland: Aurora Borealis

Some fun facts about the Aurora Borealis :)

1) The colors of the Northern Lights depend on what gas is involved and how high in the ionosphere the reaction takes place.

2) Aurora can occur at any time of the day, but we can't see them unless it's dark

3) Italian astronomer and philosopher Galileo Galilei was the first to describe the phenomenon as Aurora Borealis in 1619.

4) No two Northern Lights can ever be the same. They are always of different patterns and colors.
