Northern Lights Mystery
One of the coolest things about having lived in New England was seeing the Northern Lights. Now that we’ve moved further south, we don’t ever have that opportunity. I was reading on the Time.com website that scientists are finding out more information about what actually causes the Northern Lights. There are satellites up in space that have been transmitting data to the scientists that is helping them to understand the Northern Lights better than ever before. According to their theory, the Northern Lights are caused by magnetic explosions that occur between the earth and the moon. These storms happen about every two or three days. I don’t remember seeing Northern Lights THAT often! Maybe most of those storms have happened during daylight hours, you can only see the Northern Lights after the sun sets.
I’ve seen the Northern Lights a few times – they were spectacular to see!
