CHE SIGNIFICA SAINT ELMO'S FIRE IN INGLESE
Il fuoco di San Elmo
Il fuoco di San Elmo è un fenomeno meteorologico in cui il plasma luminoso è creato da una scarica coronale da un oggetto affilato o appuntito in un forte campo elettrico nell'atmosfera. Il fuoco di San Elmo prende il nome da S. Erasmo di Formia, santo patrono dei marinai. Il fenomeno a volte apparve sulle navi in mare durante i temporali e fu considerato dai marinai con abito religioso per la sua pallottola palla di luce, che rappresentava il nome. Poiché è un segno di elettricità nell'aria, che può interferire con le letture della bussola, alcuni marinai potrebbero averlo considerato come un omen of bad luck e weather weather. Altri riferimenti indicano che i marinai potrebbero effettivamente considerare il fuoco di San Elmo come un buon omen.
