are expecting to see numerous sunspots and solar flares. Researchers will title this year a solar maximum due to the abundant unpredictable solar flares, the solar maximum and the years that precede and follow it will make aurora predictions tougher for scientist. Scientists say that this may hinder their ability to predict the activity of the lights, thus making it more of a challenge for those who follow them. Followers will have to depend on their senses. Maybe some will be surprised and hear the whispers, or the crackles that some say comes when seeing the auroras. The voice of the auroras is still a mystery. Scientists have yet to tape the sounds of the auroras but will continue their attempts at getting them on tape. Some scientists believe this to be unreasonable due to the fact that the auroras dance in the thin air of our ionosphere approximately 60-200miles above us and that the ionosphere cant travel the sound waves that far in a timely manner, thus making it hard to hear the voices. People whom have heard them will tell you that it is the whispers of the dead trying to communicate with those of us on earth. It is believed by some, that if you wave to them they will come to greet you or become even livelier. While others believe that if you do answer them, then do so in a whisper. The auroras are to be treated with kindness and respect.The Northern Lights/Auroras are poetry; they are natures true light show. They are elementary particle physics, superstition, mythology, and folklore. The northern lights have filled people with wonder, and inspired artists; they have frightened people to think the end is at hand. No matter what the myths or folklores share, the Auroras are magical and spell binding for all....
