NORTHERN and southern lights, or auroras, have been a source of wonder for people living near the geomagnetic north and south poles. It is believed now that inside the earth, columns of molten metal rise and fall and are twisted as the earth rotates. This causes electrical currents that generate magnetic fields aligned approximately with the axis of the spinning earth. Particles of radiation reaching the earth from the sun cause a visible effect because of these magnetic fields. But the effect is enhanced when increased numbers of particles arrive from huge solar flares associated with sunspots. Many particles are trapped by the earth's magnetic field. Atoms in our atmosphere in zones surrounding these magnetic poles are excited and produce visible light in various colors. The colors are produced when oxygen and nitrogen atoms are excited by this energy from the sun and produce visible light in the wavelengths of red/green/violet. Most auroras are green in color, with some areas of red and violet. In the northern parts of the earth, these lights are called aurora borealis (Latin, northern dawn), while in the southern, they are called aurora australis (southern dawn).

And this has WHAT to do with the article or auroras in general!

RainorShine asked a question . Must pay attention . There are people out there that like to help people find answers to , what some people call , "secrets to the universe " . Thats what will make up the future population of this world while those full of hate must be eliminated . That is the only way intelligent life will survive and get to see the ends of the universe , as some call it . COMMON SENSE .

It was God's original purpose that man should live forever. Being perfect, the first man Adam had the opportunity to enjoy a span of life that would never end, subject to obedience to God. (Ge 2:15-17) However, because of disobedience, Adam forfeited that opportunity, and from him all the human race inherited sin and death.—Ro 5:12.
During the Patriarchal Period. During the pre-Flood period, the life span approached a thousand years. (Ge 5:5-29) The people closer to man's original perfection enjoyed greater longevity than those farther removed from it. The longest life on record is that of Methuselah, who lived 969 years. After the Flood, the human life span dropped rapidly.
Some have theorized that the year in the times before the Flood was just a month long. However, there is no Scriptural basis for this view. Had the year been a 30-day month, this would mean that Enosh would have become a father before he was eight years old, and others, such as Kenan, Mahalalel, Jared, and Enoch, would have fathered children before they were six years old. (Ge 5:9, 12, 15, 18, 21) A comparison of Genesis 7:11 with Genesis 8:3, 4 shows that 150 days amounted to five months. The fact that the Bible also mentions the 10th month and, subsequently, one 40-day period and at least two 7-day time periods as passing during this year, indicates the year was 12 months long.—Ge 8:5, 6, 10, 12-14.
Since Moses' Time. About 3,500 years ago Moses wrote concerning the life span: "In themselves the days of our years are seventy years; and if because of special mightiness they are eighty years, yet their insistence is on trouble and hurtful things." (Ps 90:10) The situation in this regard has not changed substantially.
Throughout the centuries, man's efforts to extend his life span have been unsuccessful. However, in many lands life expectancy has increased. Hence, James Fries and Lawrence Crapo noted: "The average length of life in the United States has increased from approximately 47 years at the turn of the century to over 73 years today, an increase of more than 25 years. . . . A critical look at these data, however, shows that the increase in life expectancy results from the elimination of premature death rather than by extension of the natural life span."—Vitality and Aging, 1981, pp. 74, 75.
Almost 2,000 years ago Jesus Christ stated that nobody "can add a cubit to his life span." (Lu 12:25) However, Jesus also said: "The things impossible with men are possible with God." (Lu 18:27) Through the prophet Isaiah, God had foretold: "Like the days of a tree will the days of my people be." (Isa 65:22) And in Isaiah 25:8 it was foretold that God "will actually swallow up death forever, and the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will certainly wipe the tears from all faces." This promise was repeated in the last book of the Bible: "And [God] will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore."—Re 21:4
