Northern Lights
A beloved child has many names: The Northern Lights, Aurora Borealis, Auroras, Polar Lights, Revontulet, Reposet, Taivaantulet, Pohjanpalo...you name it!
Mythology behind the Northern Lights
In Sami mythology the northern lights are caused by the deceased who bled to death cutting themselves, their blood spilling on the sky. Many aborigine peoples of northern Eurasia and North-America share similar beliefs of northern lights being the blood of the deceased, some believing they are caused by dead warriors' blood spraying on the sky as they engage in playing games, riding horses or having fun in some other way.
In Scandinavian mythology, the northern lights were thought to be caused by the glittering armor of valkyries as they rode under the northern night sky.
It is even told that a child conceived under the Northern Lights is especially lucky.
Facts
Auroras are predominantly seen in high-latitude regions (for example around the Arctic). Auroras are the result of disturbances in the magnetosphere caused by the solar wind.
When you see Northern Lights, you may also hear humming or crackling noises. The colour of Auroras varies: red, green, blue, yellow, pink or mixed.
You should remember that the northern lights are a natural phenomenon. No one can guarantee that they will appear.
