___ borealis (colorful sky display) (6)

I believe the answer is:

aurora

(Other definitions for aurora that I've seen before include "Orange" , "Roman goodess of the dawn" , "Atmospheric luminance" , "skylights?" , "Light phenomenon of polar regions" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
