In this delightful episode of "Check This Out!" podcast for kids, Cece and Amy dive into the natural wonder of the Aurora Borealis, commonly known as the Northern Lights. They explore the science behind this mesmerizing phenomenon, explaining how charged particles from the sun interact with Earth's magnetic field and atmosphere to produce shimmering curtains of green, pink, red, yellow, and purple lights. The hosts share facts about where to see the Northern Lights and recount myths and legends from cultures worldwide, including stories from Norway, Finland, and the Sámi people.
The episode highlights the scientific history, including Galileo's naming of the lights, and discusses the cultural significance and myths that have surrounded auroras for thousands of years. A fun lightning round tests listeners’ knowledge, and the episode closes with a poem to this natural wonder of the world. This episode is perfect for young explorers curious about the natural world, history, and its wonders!
