Geocache Description:


In science, auroras in the north are referred to as "aurora borealis". The term "aurora" goes back to the Italian mathematician and astronomer Galileo Galilei, who compared the northern lights to a spectacular sunrise. 

Auroras occur everywhere from Greenland to Scandinavia in regions of high northern latitude.

The lights are caused by charged particles from the solar wind that hit the Earth's atmosphere. Collisions with molecules or atoms in the atmosphere put them into an excited state. 

Which two chemical elements are affected by this (engl. name)?
 

Find the word value of the two elements and add the two ciphers  to the last three ciphers of each coordinate.

Have fun!
