Aurora australis seen from the ISS, 2017 [1]. An aurora [a] (pl. aurorae or auroras), [b] also commonly known as the northern lights (aurora borealis) or southern lights (aurora australis), [c] is a natural light display in Earth's sky, predominantly seen in high-latitude regions (around the Arctic and Antarctic).
Northern lights most commonly refers to the aurora borealis, a natural light display in Earth's sky. ( The ) Northern Light ( s ) may also refer to: Arts and entertainment
This aurora is believed by many people, especially those of the Catholic faith, to be related to the Fátima Prophecies (explained below). On January 25–26, 1938, the sky was lit up with an aurora borealis light storm, seen all across the world. The storm was identical to other storm-induced, low-latitude aurora borealis.
A keogram showing the plot based on the marked slice of the images taken by the camera of the auroral display above. A keogram ("keo" from "Keoeeit" – Inuit word for "Aurora Borealis") is a way of displaying the intensity of an auroral display, taken from a narrow part of a round screen recorded by a camera, more specifically and ideally in practice a "whole sky camera".
The purpose of the project is to monitor the frequency and intensity of the Aurora Borealis (Northern lights) in the years that led up to the Solar Maximum that was scheduled to occur in 2013-14. Scientists have noticed that the sun's activity follows a regular cycle and the peak (Solar maximum) is reached every 11 years.

Aurora borealis, or the northern lights, are seen Oct. 10 in Oxford, Iowa. The auroras are a natural light display in Earth's sky that are famously best seen in high-latitude regions of the ...
The generic name references the Aurora Borealis, the northern lights seen at higher latitudes including the holotype locality. The species epithet "incognita" was chosen to reflect the fragmentary nature of the fossil, rendering it difficult to determine the phylogenetic placement of the taxon.
