    In my opinion, learning the mystery of what the Northern Lights is even more magical to me! How amazing is it that one of the most beautiful things in our Stratosphere is really the natural wonders of the universe fighting against each other and working together at the same time. That is absolutely amazing. I love the things that I learn from this channel.

    Actually, in order to cause the northern lights, you need to be a school principal. Then, you have to invite your superintendent for an “unforgettable luncheon”. Next, you have to let your roast cook until it starts smoking. You mustn’t let the superintendent know about it or it will not work. Next, you have to sneak to a fast food restaurant and disguise it as your own cooking. Then once the superintendent finishes the meal, it will cause a chain of chemical reactions that will create a localized Aurora Borealis entirely in your kitchen.

    What causes the northern lights or aurora borealis? Simple, you invite a superintendent to your house for an unforgettable luncheon. Then you purchase fast food and disguise it as your own cooking because your roast is ruined. Then you call the hamburgers you bought "steamed hams". And then the aurora borealis is localized entirely within your kitchen.

    Singapore? As a photographer living in Singapore for 25 years now, I don't think I've seen any, not even faint ones. We have problems seeing even an abundance of stars at night.
    It'll be good to get some citations. I'm intrigued.

    It is caused by light reflections from hollow earth lakes and rivers. Internal of hollow earth is mostly green trees and water, hence aurora has green color mostly.
    The matter has no relation to magnetic fields phylosphy

    If weak spots in the Earth's magnetic field are where the Aurora Borealis and Aurora Australis occur, doesn't that mean that those are the most dangerous places on earth because people are more exposed to the direct impact of the solar winds?

    The way he explained the exciting of atoms is incorrect. What he used is called the Bohr Model and has disproven as the scientist who came up with it did not realize it only works with hydrogen. It does not work with other elements. I thought he was right until I went to Chemistry Class today.
