Scientists knew two events that occur in the tail of the magnetic field during substorms, but did not know which event acted as the trigger for the auroras.'"

Just don't leave the trigger lying around, anyone could find that and we'd be up to our armpits in borealis...

I can imagine Aurora Snow having a great way of advertising herself and her business to the world.

Can't be true. The Asgard went instinct, but not before transferring their wealth of knowledge to man kind. If it was from the Asgard, they would have been gone when the replicators got them!

How many times can you pull the trigger before you run out of borealis?
When you run out, can you switch to australis?
I know what you're thinking. Did he fire six borealis or only five? Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 aurora, the most powerful light show in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?

So what you're essentially saying is that Captain Planet is what you get when you eat a really spicy burrito?
Wind? Check.
Watery eyes? Check.
Heartburn? Check
I think you might have forgotten something like Earth, but that one links in quite well with Wind.
