Aurora Max each other, creating tiny flares of light that decorate the sky with colorful light. Billions of these tiny flares occur in sequence causing the lights to seem like they are dancing or moving. The lights in the Northern hemisphere are called Aurora Borealis or simply The Northern Lights while the lights in the Southern hemisphere are called Aurora Australis or simply The Southern Lights. The purpose of the project is to monitor the frequency and intensity of the Aurora Borealis (Northern lights) in the years that led up to the Solar Maximum that was scheduled to occur in 2013-14.

Kappa Coronae Borealis b Kappa Coronae Borealis b Kappa Coronae Borealis b is an extrasolar planet approximately 102 light years away in the constellation of Corona Borealis. This planet was discovered by Johnson et al., who used the radial velocity method to detect wobbling of the star caused by a planet move around by its tug of gravity. It was first discovered in September 2007 and was published in November. The planet has mass of 1.8 Jupiter masses or 570 Earth masses. Although only the minimum mass is known since the inclination is not known. It orbits at a distance of 2.7 astronomical units
