Aurora Borealis

Chemistry is likely my worst academic subject. From what I understand, Dudley was praised for explaining that the aurora borealis was neon gas, while today it's known not to be neon but work via the same process as a neon light, which is probably the point which Dudley got praise for elucidating. Please do clean this up if you can; to any interested, the man's scientific work leaves no shortage of material for the scientifically inclined. Cake (talk) 21:21, 25 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
