Aurora Borealis – The Northern Lights
The aurora is a bright glow observed in the night sky, usually in the polar zone.  In northern latitudes, it is known as the aurora borealis , which is named after the Roman goddess of the dawn, Aurora, and the Greek name for north wind, Boreas. Especially in Europe, it often appears as a reddish glow on the northern horizon, as if the sun were rising from an unusual direction. The aurora borealis is also called the northern lights since it is only visible in the North sky from the Northern Hemisphere. The aurora borealis most often occurs from September to April .
“Arsarnerit” is the Greenlandic name for Northern Lights . Directly translated it means “ the ones who played ball” . The old tale says that the parents threatened the children and told them that if they didn’t come home on time , they would cut their heads of and play ball with it .
