I put the aurora borealis. It used to be considered the thing that marked the edge of the world. What it really is is solar winds colliding with particles in our atmosphere. But it's beautiful, and many people have looked on it with fascination and joy. The aurora borealis or "Northern Lights" has been an obsession of mine for quite some time now. Because they are caused by something so small, something so insignificant, but there are many, many tales of lore circling the globe about them, and many people travel to see them each year. They are the subject of art and photography and even the inspiration for some music like "The Northern Lights of Old Aberdeen" (it's Scottish).
