Night of the Northern Lights

On 25th February 2014 Sun produced X4.9 flare which on 27th February caused G2 (KP 6) geomagnetic storm on Earth. It was the brightest aurora display so far during this solar maximum which I could witness with auroral displays overhead in the far north of Scotland. This short movie illustrates what has been seen from latitude 58.3 degrees north. Here is a link to the music used, as many of you asked about it http://www.pond5.com/stock-music/1070...

For those less fortunate who have never seen the Aurora Borealis, this short video is an awesome introduction. The music provided is just as appropriate.

The Universe, not just a happenstance.

To see the northern lights was always on my bucket list but never done. Thanks for posting.

The music is superfluous. When I first saw Northern Lights, I kept expecting it to make some noise. The silence made it all the more dramatic.

Part of the sun waving as it passes by earth.
