The name Aurora Borealis stems from Aurora, the Roman dawn goddess, and Boreas, the Greek word for the north wind.

Positioned at the same altitude as the Northern Lights, astronauts aboard the International Space Station can view these illuminations laterally.

The Southern Lights, though equally mesmerising, are less renowned due to their appearance over regions with limited landmass like South Georgia Island, New Zealand, and the Falkland Islands.

Northern Lights emerge when Earth's atmospheric gas particles clash with charged particles, such as electrons and protons, originating from the sun's atmosphere, journeying millions of miles via solar wind.
