It's something Ive been fascinated with since I was a little girl, but never thought that I was capable of doing; witnessing with my own eyes the aurora borealis [the northern lights!]
"named after the Roman goddess of dawn, Aurora, and the Greek name for north wind, Boreas, by Pierre Gassendi in 1621. The aurora borealis is also called the northern polar lights, as it is only visible in the sky from the Northern Hemisphere, with the chance of visibility increasing with proximity to the North Magnetic Pole." - wiki
A little too far fetched? That's what my roommate said. But I will see them one day...hopefully. It's just so interesting to me, how can mysterious light just appear so vibrantly. Sure I know the scientific reason, but i want to see it for myself. Am I crazy?
-What do you want to witness before you die?
