Secrets of the Polar Lights

The aurora is mesmerizing, astonishing, and captivating. Legends surround it: could it be the glint of Valkyrie armor, or perhaps the flick of a fiery fox’s tail? Of course, we know that isn’t the case—but how does it actually form? Can it be seen on other planets, or does this wondrous glow occur only here on Earth? The book you hold in your hands will help answer these questions and many more! It lifts the veil on the mysteries of this celestial display—from the ancient myths of northern peoples to modern scientific research, from the solar wind to the vibrant colors of the aurora, and from deep enigmas to precise explanations rooted in space physics.

The authors present a comprehensive account that covers every aspect of the aurora. This book will take you on a journey through time and space:
