1. Imagine you are far in the north, and it's night. But instead of darkness, the sky is full of colourful lights! Some lights resemble moving curtains, while others appear as glowing bands across the sky. The lights are usually green, but you can also see yellow, red, purple, or blue colours. These lights are unique as they dance in the sky above you. This light show is called the Aurora Borealis, or the Northern Lights. It's one of the world's seven natural wonders and has astonished people for hundreds of years.

2. The sun creates these beautiful lights. During particular solar storms, energy and tiny particles from the sun travel to Earth. Near the North Pole, these particles mix with the gases in the atmosphere, making the lights we see.

3. The colour depends on which gas interacts with the sun's particles. Green and red lights come from oxygen, while nitrogen creates purples and blues. This light show can also happen near the South Pole. There, it's called the Aurora Australis.

4. To see the Northern Lights, you need to be in a dark, northern place like Canada, Iceland, Alaska, or Greenland, especially after a solar storm!

1. Son Doong Cave is located in Phong Nha Ke Bang National Park in Quang Binh Province, Central Vietnam.

2. The story of how it was discovered is quite fascinating. In 1991, a local man named Ho Khanh was searching for shelter from a storm in the forest. He came across a cave opening where he saw fog rising and heard strange, loud noises. Scared by what he saw, Khanh left and didn't explore the cave any further, missing the chance to discover the world's largest cave.

3. Years later, in 2001, Khanh was a guide for a cave exploration team led by Howard Limbert. Khanh told them about his earlier encounter with the mysterious cave. Limbert believed it could be a significant find. However, it wasn't until 2009, after several failed attempts, Khanh and the British Cave Research Association found Son Doong Cave. The entrance was hidden deep in the jungle, in rough terrain, making it difficult to find.

4. It gained international attention when the cave was officially discovered on April 5, 2009. Many media outlets reported on it, and film crews from countries like the UK, US, Japan, and Germany visited to capture its beauty.
