While playing a video game where my character could sit and view the northern lights, I got inspired to find out what the norther lights were, what caused them, and where they could be seen.

Did you know that the aurora borealis (norther lights) is visible because particles from the sun are being pulled into our atmosphere and igniting gases which then glow an array of colors?

Did you also know that the Menominee people of Wisconsin believed that the aurora borealis was light from the torches of giants to help them see while spearfishing at night?

This book is a great reference if you would like to learn about a natural magic/light show in the sky.

This book is very scientific and uses deep explanations so start with 8-9 year olds due to the complexity of information.

I recommend this book for grades 4+
