Why is This Aurora Coming From A Single Point In The Sky?

Just Curious..

spaceweather.com

Photographer Antony Spencer reports "an amazing display" over Enontekio, Finland, on March 22-23:

"I was leading a group of photographers who have come over from the U.K and we decided to drive inland from Tromsø to beat the clouds," says Spencer. "The display we witnessed was absolutely incredible. I have never seen this much color in the aurora before."

Whoa, that's a full rainbow all the way. Double rainbow, oh my God. double rainbow. It's a double rainbow all the way...damn. I oh my God. What does this mean? It's so bright, so vivid. Double rainbow, it's so intense. What does this mean? It's startin to even look like a triple rainbow. That's a whole rainbow, man, ahhhh! Double rainbow all the way 'cross the sky. Yeah, Yeeeeaaaaah, so intense. Double rainbow all the way 'cross the sky. Wow, wow, oh my God, look at that rainbow

It looks like its riding a stream of radiation from the cosmos.

I'm not sure, but this picture is pretty crazy. Whatever it's coming from seriously appears to be originating from a single distant point in the sky, although I don't know a whole lot about this kind of thing...

I don't know much about auroras and such but as far and I'm aware it's a burst from the sun that releases some charged particals which enters the atmosphere right ?
So I'm guessing this means that the one in the picture are all focused on that single location ? Which seems wierd.
That 2nd quote also mentions colors he has never seen before in an aurora, which could possibly be from the amount of charged particals all focused on 1 location.
As said, I don't know anything about this subject so I'm just guessing.

could it be lights from the north pole? im very interested in the hollow earth theory

Looks like this is from the Flares (CMEs) that we seen a few days ago. Let's see if we have another earthquake/disaster like what happened with the last big flares

Very beautiful Aurora

You really sound like the most annoying person ever! Really, you need to talk to your psychologist about upping your meds. What pleasure could anyone get from behaving like this.

OP. This is a beautiful photo and I agree it is unusual to come from one side like that.

Could the atmosphere be thinner over that part? Just thinking aloud as there is or was a hole in the ozone layer isn't there?

I don't usually make bad comments towards any member on here, but you sound like a very immature child.

Argh, why people never get my jokes... do I really suck so much?

my first post in this topic were edited lyrics from Double Rainbow Song. I usually make "jokes" (not sure if they are jokes anymore, obviously nobody gets them ) like this when I see a thread with content that resembles something funny I saw in the past, especially some viral video from youtube.

Thumbs up if you agree


oh wait... don't... that is a youtube phrase.

Well, you know what they say about Finland.... Don't you? You don't?

Fun stuff, those fox fires. The wildlife, the forests, the lakes; all make this a cool place to live. If we could just get rid of the Finns, their society, and the food (if you can call it that), this would be a great place.

I'm already working on those too.

What a gorgeous aurora!! I have seen a couple in real life and it is hard to put into words how you feel when you see one right over your head. They are breathtaking.

I watched the viral video "Double Rainbow Guy" and totally understood the humor one poster used in this thread. I hope you don't mind me linking it here. It had over 24 million views on youtube. We laughed ourselves silly when we saw it. If that guy had videod this aurora his response would have probably been much the same.

This was filmed by Terje Sørgjerd in the norther part of Norway



4 years of waiting. 40kg of equipment. 22 000 pictures. Several nights outdoor in freezing minus 25 degrees. Clear sky and gigantic sunstorms was all it took to capture this incredible movie
