The Aurora also "talks"

Who does not know that Northern lights is a light show in silence of the polar circle. Then why in fairy tales and legends of many Northern peoples have always attributed to him still the sound, a kind of mysterious whispers and voices from heaven?

Scientists have long believed that the ancient people just dream, they couldn't hear the sounds, as it is now revealed, in fact, produce solar particles that penetrate the air molecules, mostly nitrogen and oxygen, not only cause them to flare up, to dance in the night sky in magical illumination, but also to sing.

However, the singing is more like a mysterious clicks and crackles, that is just on the faint voices and whispers, which is reflected in folk tales. But how the ancient people could know about it?

The fact that the human ear can't hear this "cosmic dialogue" (except in the mountains, at a height of not less than one hundred meters above sea level), however, the tale was the precursor of modern scientific knowledge about the Northern lights. Maybe right, those researchers of folklore, which claim that even the most fantastic tale has the actual facts and events.
