Named by French Scientist Aurora Borealis First Used
The name aurora borealis was first used by Cussendi who in 1621 observed a northern display in France and described it. The aurora is periodic with finest displays every about 60 years and weaker ones every ten or eleven. It is linked to sunspot activity and typically shows a dim light near twilight forming a pale yellow arch, from which green and violet light streams shoot upward.
