  • This would be more rad to see in regular time.. if you have it and can upload, would love to check it out

  • Aaammmmaaazziiinnnnngggg

  • The Northern Lights are actually the result of collisions between gaseous particles in the Earth's atmosphere with charged particles released from the sun's atmosphere on the solar winds my man. Variations in colour are due to the type of gas particles that are colliding and at different altitudes in which they collide.

  • The auroras generally occur along the "auroral ovals," which center on the magnetic poles (not the geographic poles) and roughly correspond with the Arctic and Antarctic circles. There are times, though, when the lights are farther south, usually when there are a lot of sunspots. Sunspot activity follows an 11-year cycle. The next peak will occur in 2011 and 2012, so opportunities to see auroras outside their normal range should be good.

  • if you dont know whta aurora is this is what it is: see the suns flames sometimes get off the sun and soarch across the solar system when the suns flames hit earth earths atmosphere protects us from the burning heat but the flames go across the surface of the atmosphere and light patterns turn the flames into different colors forming an aurora... yeah im kind of a nerd when it comes to science

  • Que bonito!!

  • where abouts in bc is this?

  • omg looks so surreal

  • solarflare's colliding with our magnetosphere, that's all. Beautifful none the less :)

  • why are the foreground stars (?) moving faster than background, very still stars?

    Distances between them are so large that they all should move almost fixed relative to observer (earth)....
