While this influence is travelling through the void celestial spaces it develops no light; but as soon as it encounters the earth's atmosphere-which appears to extend to the height of about 500 miles-it developes light, and its movements are controlled by the earth's magnetic force. Luminous beams sometimes shoot up simultaneously from nearly every part of the horizon, and converge to a point a little south of the zenith, forming a quivering canopy of flame, which is called the corona. |
