Did you know (I didn't 🙁) that the term aurora borealis was coined by Galileo in 1619?
The term was derived from Aurora, the Roman goddess of the dawn and Boreas, the Greek name for the north wind.
Galileo actually believed that auroras were due to sunlight reflecting from thin, high, vaporous clouds.
