      4. (Bot.) A species of crowfoot. --Johnson.
  
      5. The aurora borealis or aurora australis (northern or
            southern lights).
  
      {Aurora borealis}, i. e., northern daybreak; popularly called
            northern lights. A luminous meteoric phenomenon, visible
            only at night, and supposed to be of electrical origin.
            This species of light usually appears in streams,
            ascending toward the zenith from a dusky line or bank, a
            few degrees above the northern horizon; when reaching
            south beyond the zenith, it forms what is called the
            corona, about a spot in the heavens toward which the
            dipping needle points. Occasionally the aurora appears as
            an arch of light across the heavens from east to west.
            Sometimes it assumes a wavy appearance, and the streams of
            light are then called merry dancers. They assume a variety
            of colors, from a pale red or yellow to a deep red or
            blood color. The
  
      {Aurora australis}is a corresponding phenomenon in the
            southern hemisphere, the streams of light ascending in the
            same manner from near the southern horizon.
