Thank you very much! I got some northern lights, and spent as much time reading and watching vids on the GOPs debate as I could. Stupid shit quota filled!

Thanks for the ^#42;promote. I thought you'd like the Northern Lights one

Beautiful the northern lights!! Better than city lights!!

The very first thing i thought of was some mechanism similar to our northern lights, but i have no grasp of the distances, axes (unless the weird artifact line is one) or sizes or anything from the video to argue for it.
I guess we're seeing in IR, so all we know for sure is that something is hot around that region, bearing in mind that it's at least the diameter of mercury itself, so it's a fucking big whatever it is. A ship that big? Well, i guess if you say it's a ship you can say it's any size you like, we're in the realm of imagination.
Edit:
Also, culd be a fault in the equipment.

Happens several places on that video, it looks like some artifact of the video that comes from the planet when the CME hits.


You nailed it with that Edit2 video. It's just an artifact of failing to mask the enormous brightness of the planets out.

I don't know if I have ever seen the color red in the Northern Lights...that was absolutely gorgeous!

Beautiful! When I was a kid, me and my parents used to make a summer trip to Northern Norway every year. We usually visited Tromso to do some fishing there (I remember whaling boats coming in, and lots of fish followed them, and we fished from the piers - though I might confuse some of this with Narvik, which was our other favorite place )

If I remember right, there was also an aquarium that has lots of cool fish, like piranhas! We never went during the winter, so I couldn't see Northern Lights like this. But at least I have seen northern lights plenty of times in Finland too

DUPE!

Terje Sorgjerd is a master of out-of-this-world timelapse videos. After stunning all of us with one featuring the northern lights earlier this year, he’s back again with an even crazier one that captures the Milky Way over El Teide, Spain’s highest mountain. The individual frames were shot using a Canon 5D Mark II with a Canon 17mm TSE, Canon 16-35mm II, Canon 24/1.4II, and Sigma 12-24mm.

Beautiful! Can someone add a tag for Norway? The video was shot around Kirkenes Norway, up near the North Cape.

'9 March came the warning of one of the strongest storms in years. Sørgjerd bought a ticket to northern Norway and spent seven nights frozen out at Kirkenes and the Russian border..' [via Google translate]

This article is about the March 9 solar flare that triggered the auroras.

Maybe it's time to dump the compasses and rely on GPS?

I would love to experience a pole shift, imagine being able to the northern lights from your own home.
