'ROSS AND THE RED TIPPED AURORA'
James Clark Ross: (1800-1862)
British explorer and naval officer.

He studied Earth's magnetism in the Arctic, the Antarctic, England and the
South Pacific. On an expedition, with his uncle, he located the North Magnetic
Pole (1831). He must have been very familiar with auroras. Did he ever imagine that we would
see them from a spacecraft high above and looking down?
