Let's begin with the solar wind
With photons sailing through the void
A lonely vacuum where few have been
From sun to earth where the dance begins
A dance of light across the sky
A vivid flowing glow on high
A curtain drapes the mighty earth
Sets the sky ablaze
A wondrous incandescent burst
Born from stellar rays
A glow of green, or brown, or red
From colliding oxygen
A brilliant show of blue or red
From energetic nitrogen
Magnetospheric particles
Colliding with this stream of light
Ionizing molecules
To bring about a wild sight
