Aurora Borealis, or Northern Lights. They can also be seen from other nearby parts of the Northern Hemisphere.

Is the magnetic pole exactly at the north?

No. The true north pole is the northern point about which the earth spins. If you were to spin, the ball would have a north and south pole; the poles would be the 'top' and 'bottom' of the spin, which would move very little compared with the ring around the circumference of the ball halfway between the 'top' and 'bottom' or 'north' and 'south' poles (which on earth is the line of latitude we call the equator). The magnetic north pole is vaguely near the north pole, but not exactly; the true north pole lies within the arctic ocean, but the magnetic pole currently lays near Ellesmere Island in northern Canada, but is moving toward Siberia at a rate of around 35 miles per year. The true north pole marking the "top" axis about which the earth spins is relatively fixed. At the north pole, the sun rises and sets only once per year. Further, time zones are absolutely meaningless, as if one were able to stand precisely at the north pole, one would occupy every time zone, from GMT to the International Date Line, simultaneously. The only 'direction' one can travel walking any line from the true North Pole is south.


Of True North and Magnetic North and Compass North which way is really up?

True North is the real North, following along the lines of longitude which converge at the North Pole, the farthest geographically North point on the planet, and the rotational axis of the planet. Magnetic North and Compass North are both the same thing, with the compass pointing along Magnetic North. Magnetic North however, is not the real North. If you were to follow your compass as far North as it could point, you would end up on the Prince of Wales Island in the Northwest Territories of Canada, over 1,500 miles away from the North Pole. Magnetic North can be adjusted to True North on your compass by knowing the local magnetic variation of your area and adding/subtracting accordingly. A third North is Grid North, which follows the Grid Lines on a standard map. At the South Pole, every direction is True North, so Grid North is used instead and can be found by following the Prime Meridian northwards. Hope that helps.


What is meant by calling the lights in live concerts or theater?

In a live performance, the lighting cues have to fire at precise times, and those times have to be called by one person. The person who calls lights at a theatrical performance is the stage manager, and at a concert, it is usually the lighting director. One of these two people is responsible for staying on the headset and calling for cues to be executed to the light board operator and to the spotlight operator. This is known officially as "calling the light cues", but for short we call it "calling the lights".


What are the words to the song lights of old Santa Fe?

Lights Of Old Santa Fe Lyrics by Jack Elliot In the dust as the shadows fall And the night seems to cover all From the hills you'll see 'em shining, See the lights of old Santa Fe. Evenin' breeze blows the leaves around, While the brook lends a gentle sound. And this cowboy's heart is pining For the lights of old Santa Fe. For maybe when the roundup's over, That's when I'll be fancy free, And there's a chance I'll be in clover If a certain miss is waitin' there for me. There'll I stay, never more to roam Just a shack, but we'll call it home And we'll find our silver linin' In the lights of old Santa Fe


Can you get a tattoo in North Carolina when your 17 as long as you have your parents consent?

Yes, but it will be at the discretion of the shop if they will do it since you are underage. Call around to shops in your area and see what they say.
