The Northern Lights
Suddenly the time has come: the sky, which had just been black as night, is bathed in a sea of colours. Green, blue, red, violet – one hue flows into the next in waves. A mystical spectacle that can only be seen near the poles. We are of course talking about the Northern Lights, the Aurora Borealis at the North Pole and the Aurora Australis at the South Pole. For as long as anyone can remember, countless legends and myths have grown up around the natural phenomenon in the heavens. No wonder, since it is a moving spectacle that can now be explained scientifically, but in earlier times conveyed a feeling of the divine. The Northern Lights provide a brief and impressive glimpse into the endless expanses of the universe - anyone who has experienced them live will remember this sight forever.
