For other uses, see Aurora (disambiguation).
Aurora is a given name for women. Aurora is the Latin word for dawn. Aurora was the ancient Roman equivalent of Eos, the ancient Greek goddess of the dawn.
The polar aurora, a colorful glow in the sky, was named because the effect was similar to early dawn. Auroral displays occur more frequently at higher Northern (Aurora borealis) and Southern (Aurora australis) latitudes.
