Summary:
The mysterious lights of the aurora borealis are a thing of legend. Some people live where they can see this phenomenon nearly every night, while others of us can only imagine what it must be like to see these eerie and awe-inspiring lights dancing across the night skies. This information-packed volume will take away some of the mystery, but not the awe, as it reveals what meteorologists have learned about the lights, and how and why they occur.
