The aurora is a glow observed in the night sky, usually in the polar zone. For this reason some scientists call it a "polar aurora" (or "aurora polaris"). In northern latitudes, it is known as "aurora borealis" which is named after the Roman goddess of the dawn, Aurora and the greek name for north wind, Boreas since in Europe especially, it often appears as a reddish glow on the northern horizon as if the sun were rising from an unusual direction. The aurora borealis is also called the "northern lights". The aurora borealis most often occurs from September to October and March to April. Its southern counterpart, "aurora australis", has similar properties.

1) Aroura Borealis. It's an atmospheric phenomenon visible from the far north, preferably above 65 degrees latitude. It is caused by particles hitting the upper atmosphere and reacting with the gases. It appears as a green wavy haze and is supposed to be one of the most enchanting things around.
2) A variety of marijuana initially bred in Holland. Very strong.

When electro magnetic particles from the sun hits the earth's atmosphere, it produces intense electrical storms which light up the sky. Very common in the poles because of the magnetic fields.
