“The Northern Lights”

There are times when the night sky glows with bands of color. The bands may
begin as cloud shapes and then spread into a great arc across the entire sky. They may
fall in folds like a curtain drawn across the heavens. The lights usually grow brighter,
then suddenly dim. During this time the sky glows with pale yellow, pink, green, violet,
blue, and red. These lights are called the Aurora Borealis. Some people call them the
Northern Lights. Scientists have been watching them for hundreds of years. They are
not quite sure what causes them. In ancient times people were afraid of the Lights.
They imagined that they saw fiery dragons in the sky. Some even concluded that the
heavens were on fire.
