This always amazes me.. I hope one day I could see it myself...

This is incredible, real time footage of the Northern Lights, Aurora Borealis filmed on January 24th during the peak of a Solar Storm. This is not time-lapse, this is how the Northern Lights really can dance and move across the sky. The colours are true as well. We even captured a shooting star at 02:30. Shot with a Sony PMW-F3 using a 2 frame slow shutter. I'll upload a higher quality version when I am back home on Feb 2nd. I only have very limited Internet up here in Northern Norway.

Aurora HD

This picture says more then thousand words so watch and enjoy this.

It's very beautiful , but I always ask myself why the green color always seems to dominate?

the composition and density of the atmosphere and the altitude of the aurora determine the possible light emissions. the two main colors emitted from the aurora are red and green. the red is a dark red that is at the limit of what the human eye can see.

Thought it would have something to do with a color prism, but that doesn't work that way..Thanks

Man that's beautiful.

Imagine if our skies were lit up like that every night.

SO amazing. I would love to see this in person.

Here is another link - it has the original video but also one from NASA with a view of the aura from space.

wow what a buzz kill. Tell me the truth, be honest, do you get tired of looking up at the moon, the stars, feeling the warm sun in the morning, the feeling of clean air in your nose. The sound of the Pacific crashing on the shore.

No I think not, ya you could consider this the same, I never experienced it for real but looking at it , I should ask someone from that region how they experience this and how many times a year this happens? and if it ever get boring?
