Can you imagine! The earliest known account of northern lights appears to be from a
Babylonian clay tablet from observations made by the official astronomers of King Nebuchadnezzar II, 568/567 BC.

The image was taken in Tampere, Rauhaniemi.

I wonder what they thought of them back then...truly fascinating history, Anitta and a wonderful photo. V This may answer globalgadabouts question This observation occurred at a time when the geomagnetic (dipole) latitude of Babylon was about 41°N compared with the present value of 27.5°N, suggesting a higher auroral incidence at Babylon in 567 BC than at present.

fine image...it is surprising the Babylonians would see the aurora from so far south..
