Mysteries of the Northern Lights. Olena Kompaniiets

The aurora borealis fascinates, amazes, and captivates. Legends tell of it: maybe it's the shine of Valkyries' armor or the swish of a fiery fox's tail? Of course, we know that this is not so, but how is it actually formed? Can it be seen on other planets, or does this amazing glow occur only on Earth? The book you are holding in your hands will help answer these and many other questions! It lifts the curtain on the mysteries of the celestial glow: from ancient myths of the northern peoples to modern scientific research, from the solar wind to different colors of the glow, from mysteries to precise explanations of the physics of space.
