The beautiful aurorae, or northern lights, are the stuff of legends. The ancient stories of the Sami people warn that if you mock the lights they will seize you, and their mythical appeal continues to capture the hearts and imagination of people across the globe. 'Seeing the Light' is a narrative of discovery exploring the visual beauty, legends and science of the northern lights - including the developing threat of space weather - and challenging the popular paradigm of how the lights are formed.
