Auroras are the result of the emissions of photons in the Earth's upper atmosphere, above 80 km (50 miles), from ionized nitrogen atoms regaining an electron, and oxygen and nitrogen atoms returning from an excited state to ground state. They are ionized or excited by the collision of solar wind particles being funneled down and accelerated along the Earth's magnetic field lines; excitation energy is lost by the emission of a photon of light, or by collision with another atom or molecule:

oxygen emissions
Green or brownish-red, depending on the amount of energy absorbed.
nitrogen emissions
Blue or red. Blue if the atom regains an electron after it has been ionized. Red if returning to ground state from an excited state.

Luguvalium (or, possibly,
Luguvalium Carvetiorum)
was a town in the Roman
province of Britannia.

Today it is known as Carlisle, located in the English county of Cumbria (formerly in Cumberland).

Time's up again, which is a pity, cos it was a horrendously easy question to answer: 1973. Every team won their 2 home games and lost their 2 away games, and there was no use of points difference back then.

Next question: cricket. Name the year of the first ever tied Test between two Test-playing nations.

Correct!

West Indies 453 & 284
Australia 505 & 232

The match ended in the last possible over of play on the last day with a ball to spare, meaning that in the space of several minutes all four normal Test Match results were possible: a win for the Australia, a win for the West Indies, a draw or a tie.

Your go!
