Dance of Spirits: The Aurorae in Real Time

Posted by Greg at 06:33, 29 Jan 2012

I've posted a few jaw-dropping timelapse videos of the aurorae in the past, but check out this *real-time* wonderfulness:

As I've said before, one can only imagine what ancient peoples thought this phenomenon might be...certainly conjures up magic, spirits in my head even though I know the scientific explanation. More information on the video/aurora can be found at Bad Astronomy.

Wow, there are almost no words to describe some of these videos. I so want to be able to see that one day. It looks like something you would only see in the movies through special effects.

 

The Aurorae is one of the most amazing sites around and there so many lucky people who got to experience some games during the last solar storm.
