The term "aurora" comes from the Latin word "aurora," meaning "dawn." It was named in reference to the Roman goddess of the dawn, Aurora. The natural phenomenon itself, known as the aurora borealis in the northern hemisphere and aurora australis in the Southern Hemisphere, is caused by the interaction of solar wind with the Earth's magnetic field and atmosphere, resulting in spectacular displays of colorful lights in the sky.
