Note
Best of Northern Lights–
If you’ve never had a chance to see the northern lights in person, 2024 is shaping up to be a good year to finally witness the phenomenon. Experts say 2024 will bring not only the best northern lights in more than 20 years, but they may also appear in areas where they’re not normally visible.
Two interesting facts on Northern Light
1) Aurora is the Roman goddess of dawn and Boreas is the Greek term for the north wind, hence the name Aurora Borealis.
2) The International Space Station sits at the same altitude as the Northern Lights meaning astronauts can see the lights from the side
