📜Some legends about the Northern Lights:

🇬🇷Anciente Greece: The words Aurora Borealis come from the Greek words “Aurora” meaning “sunrise”🌅 and “Boreas” meaning “wind”🌬️. For the ancient Greeks to have seen the lights there must have been some incredibly strong solar☀️ activity because sightings so far south are almost unheard of. The Greeks held that Aurora was the sister of Helios and Seline, the sun☀️ and moon🌕 respectively, and that she raced across the early morning sky🌌 in her multi-coloured🌈 chariot to alert her siblings to the dawning of a new day.

🇪🇺Southern Europe: It is very rare for the Northern Lights to appear over Southern Europe and such appearances require intense solar activity which usually results in red🔴 Auroras appearing in the night sky🌌. Not surprisingly, on the rare, rare occasions that they do appear, they cause quite a stir and, until fairly recently, were enough to terrify a populace unaware of the Aurora’s origin.
The poor residents of France🇫🇷 and Italy🇮🇹 for example believed the lights to be a bad omen heralding the outbreak of anything from war to plague🐀 and death💀. In Scotland🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 and England🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿, the skies are said to have blazed red🔴 just a few weeks prior to the French Revolution⚔️ and were later considered to have been a sign of the coming revolution in their neighbour state.

🇨🇳Ancient China: Auroral sightings in China are also rare and would have been caused by a significant solar☀️ event so unsurprisingly, the ancient Chinese were in awe of the lights that sporadically illuminated their night sky🌌.
It is said that many of the early Chinese legends associated with dragons were a result of the Northern Lights. The belief is that the lights were viewed as a celestial battle between good and evil dragons🐉 who breathed fire🔥 across the firmament.

❓Did you know that the astronauts on board the International Space Station are at the same altitude as the Northern Lights and see them from the side?
