Dance of the Spirits: Incredible Real Time Northern Lights from Jan 24 Solar Storm

[Niika6666]

one day. some day. i will see this with my naked eye and not on youtube. and then ill probably cry like a bitch out of pure happiness that i FINALLY got to see this firsthand. some day... :(

[Niika6666]

@Niika6666 p.s. fake chris in the morning led me here :D

[SUPERSANQUAN]

@Niika6666 you will soon..Jesus is on his way...these things are shown to us as messages...look and see what causes this...(sun explosions) it all goes back to the bible God and Jesus not Science....all this happen around the earths most weaher disasters

[Niika6666]

@SUPERSANQUAN well, you just fucked everything up by bringing religion into my travel plans. this is caused by SCIENCE, not by anything else. GOD IS NOT REAL. you believe in god because thats what your ancestors were FORCED to believe in when they were slaves. if they dared to question it, they were beaten severely. slavery is no longer going on, so why not go back to your true beliefs? why STILL enslave yourself by obeying the oppressive white man's religion?

[SUPERSANQUAN]

@Niika6666 aha You have alot to learn...Research the 1st century google it also 4th...My ancestors!!! funny this goes back waaaay beyond Science..God is the Madd Scientist!!!...Look and search what Northern Light means...It has Several names and Meanings..one of the first Views of the lights in the sky  back before the Ice Ages..It was called Gods Plan For New Earth!!!..2011 Earthquakes Storms all over the world divide land..also wild fires..Infact The Lights was viewed first...In Calvary

[SUPERSANQUAN]

@SUPERSANQUAN The place Jesus was Crucified...God is the light..Soon there will be no power nore technolgy..Back as if the Ice Age...Then your gonna freak out..Like the rest of the world ...Prepare the new world will be here..By god Soon....Knowledge is power

[Niika6666]

@SUPERSANQUAN i assure you, i will not be freaking out when the human race gets what it's got coming to them. in fact, i HOPE it happens within my lifetime so i can witness it firsthand. second, god has nothing to do with anything, because HE DOES NOT EXIST.

[funghighlsd25records]

thank you we see this in manitoba canada quite often the colors are spectacular curtain formations but the giant spirals are breath taking thanks again

[Andreitayo]

I went to Lapland the last December and I got luck also, I saw the Northern Lights and it was amazing!!!

[cavemanNCC1701]

This is another moment that won't die because it was shared , THANK YOU !!!

[explorerhighpass]

Magnificent video! Thanks form the hearth for sharing. :) Also my compliments for the music choice. Wow, perfect video! One of my favorites from now on!

[BrewMonkey1]

Imagine what ancient people thought?

[promusicality]

There are few things as ethereally beautiful as the Northern Lights, and that deserves appreciation -- whether they were formed by God, the Universe, or something else.

I also love the music -- it really completes this video. Thank you, Mr. Chapman!

[snuffying]

are those sounds made by the auroras or the wind? i know stupid question but ... i honestly dont know.

[gp3marketingllc]

Wonderful video & super music. Thanks for sharing!

[ajustincrediblename]

That looks great. I can't wait to see those in person

[PandosII]

Great vid, but could you not remove the crosshairs in the middle of the screen?

[irisisthis]

It's hard to believe this is real when the stars in the background look so fake : /

[racavelino]

@irisisthis there will always be cynics. that's how the stars are.

[vveilandics]

God is an artist, for sure. Thank you for this beautiful and moving vid.

[racavelino]

@vveilandics or the universe is

[dge3571]

Amazing planet we live on people, This was so beautiful that i wish I was standing there looking up at it also. Very well done and great music with this thank you for sharing.

[bodymindsound]

[gandersen88]

PUTOS GRINGOS

[MrMistrzuch]

What's the title of this awesome music?

[TheJjaime1]

Congratulations!

[geezergirl14]

wow. wow wow... thanks so much for the share and the incredible music.

[iloveskymuch]

That is wonderful. Thanks for sharing.

[metaphid]

Magnificent. Thanks for posting.

[exoplanet11]

Sorry. I meant:

"the buildings are sharp, but the aurorae could be sharper"

[exoplanet11]

Excellent. Thanks for posting...and for shooting!

I wonder if next time you try such a video you could set the camera focus to "Infinity". It appears that the building are sharp but the aurorae are sharper. I know that autofocus features might not make this possible. You could start by focusing on a distant tree or mountain during the daytime (if there is any!), then keep the setting.

Thanks again.

[ingenioustv]

@exoplanet11 The Aurora is very diffuse anyway, it is not "sharp", it is quite soft and blurry to the naked eye. There are some shots where the focus is a little off, it was -24c and the lens was icing up. Focussing during daylight doesn't really work as the extreme temperature changes can affect focus and stars will show up any miss focus much more than mountains etc. Best to focus on a bright star (which is what I did as much as the conditions would allow).

Fibonacci everywhere :)

[nautico666]

Seems to be people running ... Thanks. It´s so beautiful.

[LinseyTMcC]

Absolutely beautiful, You are very lucky to have seen this :-) x

[Indigogirl555]

[bboyzwar]

[bboyzwar]

keria ver el diseño de las estrellas y hasta el min 1:50 puede ver bien,

-ahi se encuentran la 3 marias (son las 3 estrellas q forman como una line recta)

- arriba se encuentra betelgeuse (es el q se encuentra a casi linea recta de las 3marias, es una supergigante roja)

-abajo de las 3marias esta rigel

- al lado izq abajo esta sirius (la estrella mas brillante denoche)

-y creo q al lado izq arriba esta procyon a unos 11 años luz!

[ingenioustv]

The music is Visions of Socrates by Martijn de Man.

The video was filmed at a place called Ravnastua in Finnmark, Norway. It take groups interested in photographing and timing the Aurora to this magical place every winter.

[kaotik4266]

@ingenioustv Thanks!

[jaewalkernet]

Thank you. This is magnificent.

[kslrn1663]

AWESOME!, MAGNIFICENT!, STUNNING!, PEACEFUL!, SURREAL!

[ciararavenblaze]

who came here via the Bad Astronomer?

[hedonegone1]

@ciararavenblaze I did. Glad to see his stamp of approval on this video. I had no idea the aurora could move like this so quickly.

[ciararavenblaze]

@hedonegone1 me neither. it's nice to see it move in real time--for years upon years, all I'd ever seen was pictures. and then in the last few years, all I saw was time-lapse videos, and now this? AWESOME.

[Savesglances]

Absolutely magnificent. Music please? ^^

[Sheshader]

"2 dislikes"

Oh come on now... there has to be more idiots in the internet than that!

[tiripirika]

No black people? This film is racist!

[DiegoQu]

@tiripirika :facepalm:

[joshuabowers]

Needs more dragons.

[animalpolice]

That's beautiful!

Where in Europe is the best place to see this?

[bwpalmer04]

@animalpolice Norway

[tc71291]

Found this on Reddit! Outstanding !

[LonMcGregor]

SUBSCRIBE.

[Superesky]

OMG, This is my uncle's, Oscar Eriksen, lodge the Ravnastua. I saw this on a place very nearby, Karasjok, it was VERY breathtaking and really cool. It's amazing to see this on youtube, THANK YOU for uploading this. :D

[drunkasssteve]

Oh, and who's the artist/title of the music? It's perfect for the video and I'd like to check out more.

[drunkasssteve]

I used to live 6 miles south of the Canadian border in North Dakota. On really cold days (at least it seemed) they truly did dance quite rapidly like in this video, although not as full featured in the sky. A truly amazing sight. I love living where there's an actual population, but I absolutely miss the Northern Lights and seeing countless stars due to little light pollution.

[niklasshepherd]

So amazing. That Northern Lights, that video, that music... Simply masterpiece.

[godduss73]

Where was this taken? Beautiful and mesmerizing!

[SprinklezTheHunter]

@godduss73 Somewhere in England, most likely near the North.

[Superesky]

@godduss73 It was taken in my uncle's lodge, where tourist can stay the night. It's near the village Karasjok (where I live) and it's called Ravnastua. You can check his web page, but unfortunately it might be in Norwegian. You can see the Aurora almost every day when the skies are clear of clouds of course, but might not be as strong as this.

[Thorinair]

Absolutely stunning!

[header2k]

Not available in your country

[kus2ganteng]

my biggest wish before I die:

see aurora borealis

the closest one I saw are only in Skyrim

[Superesky]

@kus2ganteng 1. Move to north Norway, North Canade or whereever north.

2. Stay a winter month there.

3. ???

4. Profit

[markandrach]

stunning video,im going to watch the views grow and the like bar to explode

[MattTheTubaGuy]

Absolutely amazing! Hopefully I will see some here in NZ this solar cycle.

[JDSleeper]

The imagery is beautiful. Great job capturing this! And the choice of music makes it even better.

[MrStardust85]

phil plait brought me here

[Lordhotshot]

so beautiful <3

[TimothyFrisby]

What is the music from? It's awesome and fits the video very well :)

[kaotik4266]

I add my voice to the others wanting to know what this song is!

Also, it's a beautiful video!

[finallator91]

you do know thats not a spirit it a light from the sun that make a beautiful ligth

[deicidalRuffian]

@finallator91 You do know there's something called metaphor, where people use words that aren't 100% accurate, but create a more intense emotional response than a literal description could.

[Arcaneliving]

Aw man. Absolutly beautiful. We used to see the Northern Lights up in Ontario a lot but haven't seen them much anymore. You are soo lucky to see them at this magnitude.

[kurtjmac]

I would've probably let myself freeze to death because I wouldn't ever want to come back inside.

[spqrlegacyofSancus]

@kurtjmac I would go see this myself if i knew a way to survive the cold, it is amazing

[TheZombieROCKET]
