By Bob King Verified| West Central Tribune Verified Earth is not alone in having auroras. Flickering lights dance in the skies of every planet except Mercury, which has too little atmosphere to put on a show. To make an aurora, you really only need three ingredients — a source of high-speed charged particles, a magnetic field to channel them, and an atmosphere for them to crash into. Charged particles have either a positive or negative charge. The most familiar of them are the electrons in electricity that power our appliances.
By Bob King Verified| Duluth News Tribune Verified When we picture the moon we think of its changing phases — crescent, half, full and new. But throughout the course of its orbit its apparent size also changes. This is because the moon orbits the Earth in an ellipse, not a circle. An ellipse resembles an oval with the Earth positioned off-center, so that with one side of the moon's orbit is closer to the planet than the other. Virtually every orbiting body follows an elliptical path.
