“AURORA” in italiano

Severe solar weather is often heralded by dramatic auroral displays, northern and southern lights, and magnetic storms that occasionally affect satellites, radio communications and power systems.

Colorful sky lights called auroras may be active at high latitudes and possibly into northern U.S. states and Europe.

Although the solar wind produces beautiful auroras , it can also cause a variety of undesirable consequences.

Birkeland's experiments failed to account for one of the most important traits of auroras : they are common around the polar regions but exceedingly rare at the poles themselves.

But, as the team observed, although Saturn's aurora do share characteristics with the other planets, they are fundamentally unlike the auroral displays on either Earth or Jupiter.
