A couple of times, here in Vermont, I have seen Northern Lights displays that were so amazing that I wanted to awaken the whole town and call all of my friends and relatives to head outside and catch the shows. Simply fantastic! God is a Great Artist!

The scary part is, northern lights are created by solar flares burning across the atmosphere....imagine a blow torch shooting its flame over a metal ball...now imagine if that flame was pointed directly at the ball........

Digi,

Not only do you have a big mouth, what comes out of it is nonsense.

Auroras are caused by ions impacting the earths atmosphere an being dragged towards the north pole.

It has no relation to a blow torch, and poses absolutely no risk at all.

Do you really think this flow of ions comes from the sun 93 million miles away, and just happens to hit a small area around the pole?

Try Googling it...then maybe you wouldn't come across like Chicken Little. Better yet, test your blow torch analogy on your own head. It seems it has the same consistency as a metal ball...
