The Vikings likely first observed the Northern Lights, or Aurora Borealis, during their explorations in the late 8th to early 11th centuries. As they traveled through Scandinavia and other northern regions, they would have encountered this natural phenomenon, which was both awe-inspiring and mysterious. While there are no specific records of their first sighting, Norse mythology later incorporated the lights into their beliefs, suggesting their significance to Viking culture.

Do the northern lights have anything to do with the Sun?
Yes. The Northern Lights are entirely dependent on charged particles (ions) that form what is called the "solar wind". This is a continual but varying release of charged particles from the Sun's superheated corona. When these ions are diverted by the Earth's magnetic field (near the poles), they collide with atoms in the upper atmosphere. This produces the energetic emissions that we see as a light show in the night sky.

Did the vikings discover America?
In that the Vikings were met (and wiped out) by people, the 'Natives" who came from Asia, the Vikings were just the latest in a string of visitors starting in 12,000 BCE or so. There are also reports of Chinese voyages to the new world and Phoenician travelers. _______________________________ There are Irish legends of earlier travelers from Europe to America, but the earliest documented travel is of the Vikings. There is also some evidence that the Chinese may have visited what is now California many hundreds of years ago, but this is still disputed. Of course, the FIRST humans to reach America were the early nomads who came from Asia about 50K years ago.
