The Aurora Borealis (also known as the northern lights) is seen in the night time sky exclusively in the northern hemisphere. It is more prominently and frequently viewed at northern latitudes, but can be seen generally throughout the temperate regions north of the equator, especially during the equinoxes (near spring and fall). . The Aurora Australis is the southern hemisphere's counterpart to the Aurora Borealis.
All the time. Visible mostly in winter because that is when the sky is darkest.
From time to time with large CME's from the sun.........the lights can be seen this far down south.
No one can be said to have discovered a natural phenomena that has been known since before recorded time. The Aurora Borealis and the Aurora Australis, sometimes called The Northern and Southern Lights, are natural light displays in the sky, usually observed at night, particularly in the polar regions. Natural phenomena such as the Aurora Borealis have been in existence for millions of years, from times before people existed.
The Northern Lights, or Aurora Borealis, are glowing bands, circles and streams of colored lights that sometimes appear in the northern latitudes.pretty much there lights that apear in the sky at a pecific time of year.
Mostly during winter (skies are darkest then).

One effect is the aurora borealis or Northern lights which are very beautiful this time of year. High electro magnetic activity.

The Aurora Borealis has not been seen in the UK since 2005. However now (2010) we are moving into a time of increased solar storm activity, so there will be more displays of the Northern and Southern Auroras in the next few years. Chances of seeing them in the UK are about 10%. See the video at the attached link
Because there's a certain time of night when you like to do all of your stargazing. If you were willing to look for it at any time when it's dark outside, you could see Corona Borealis somewhere in the sky during nearly 10 months of the year.
I'm not sure if they ever saw it. The only time I know it was seen in Egypt was in 1872. If they did see it, they probably thought it was a sign from Nut, who they believed was the Goddess of the sky.

Because aurora borealis is created due to solar wind from the Sun. That will predominantly come if the Sun has a solar eruption or solar flare (same thing). The particles take about 2 or 3 days to reach Earth and when some of them are accelerated by the magnetic field near the poles they interact with the atoms of our upper atmosphere and we see the lights. ________________________________________________ The aurora borealis (the "northern lights') is caused by the interaction of high energy charged particles from the Sun interacting with the Earth's magnetic field in the ionosphere. But it is difficult to predict exactly where or when the aurora will be visible, indicating that there are probably other factors of which we remain ignorant. Auroras are not permanently visible because the ionosphere itself is not perfectly uniform, and the flux of charged particles from the Sun is quite variable.
