Scientist Debra Rolison spoke

. At a presentation this year at the Smithsonian Institution, Brekke told a packed auditorium about the early pioneers of Aurora Borealis science. He also told the crowd that to understand the Northern Lights, one must first understand the sun, as Brekke is first and foremost a solar physicist. He told that crowd to try and see the northern lights in the next four years, as he suspects that some of the displays will be the most spectacular in decades. Brekke received a doctorate degree in 1993 from
