Augustus,

Excellent penned...I love the way how you described it... I know you are inquisitive about Aurora B. (jus like your initials A.B)
coz I feel you read or watched some documentary bout it... am I right?

And you know brother this includes to my bucket list, to see the northern lights also known as Aurora Borealis.. (my Bucket list) that's the title of my poem... in Finland, they built a glass tempered igloo so that the tourist will see the Northern lights by night....In Iceland. the Aurora is a bit higher unlike in Finland It's just like a green curtain in the sky...

Informative write Augustus..

Auroras are produced when the magnetosphere is sufficiently disturbed by the solar wind that the trajectories of charged particles in both solar wind and magnetospheric plasma, mainly in the form of electrons and protons, precipitate them into the upper atmosphere, where their energy is lost. The resulting ionization and excitation of atmospheric constituents emits light of varying colour and complexity. The form of the aurora, occurring within bands around both polar regions, is also dependent on the amount of acceleration imparted to the precipitating particles...

Not my words, but I've just been teaching this to the kids. Sorry.

Augustus - a wonderful poem,

Ben
