aurora

185d

Slowly working my way through a few terabytes of timelapses shot in Feb and March.

Just after dinner we saw auroras poking through gaps in the cloud. I setup my first camera outside the rental cabin, pointed across the fjord to capture the clouds rolling by.

For the next hour I was helping my FIL shoot the more active auroras in the east. And didn't realise that my cloud timelapse was turning into an aurora timelapse :) Huge win.

Aurora colors come from atoms that are trying to shed some of their energy.

In very thin air, oxygen survives in a delicate, high-energy state that emits green light. In denser air, atomic collisions knock oxygen to a lower-energy state that emits red. Nitrogen is a robust emitter that glows bright in even lower, denser layers of the atmosphere.

Beautiful science.

Just at Civil twilight the Aurora Start to show up in my Southern and Northern Sky, despite the partially blue sky and waxing crescent Moonlight, it was amazing and I captured it from my Observatories in Yellow Springs, Ohio on Friday evening until around 12:30am when clouds rolled in to cover the Awesome display.

Hello, #AuroraBorealis, #NorthernLights, #Aurora, #Polarlichter 😳
(It looks MUCH brighter in the photos than in reality, but the sky IS red, pink and green at the moment!)

Aurora borealis in pink and green with an upwards striped pattern. A few houses are seen against the colorful night sky.

A photographer's dream. I've been photographing at Mono Lake for many years, and never did I expect to get photos like these, I didn't think it was possible. The aurora came and went for only about 15 minutes with that intensity, shifting colors before vanishing. #Aurora #NorthernLights #MonoLake

Mono Lake tufa landscape with a magenta, yellow, and blue aurora reflected on the lake's water. The ISS (I think) is streaking through.

Magenta pillars rising from the sierras, with Mono Lake tufa in the foreground. The aurora is mostly pink with a fringe of yellow-green underneath.

A cluster of Mono Lake tufa silhouetted over a bright pink and red aurora. The light pillars are not too defined, but the colors are intense and reflect on the lake.

More Mono Lake tufa towers with a pink, yellow, and red aurora glowing softly behind them.

These mean looking sunspots are the cause of the strongest geomagnetic storm (G5 - Severe) in 20 years!

They are really huge, spanning about 16 Earth diameters. Auroras are happening now and probably will continue over the weekend.

Absolutely mind-blown by the incredible #aurora tonight! Phone pictures from my back garden and a nearby field, in Northamptonshire. I have wanted to see this all my life, and never thought I’d manage to catch it. So happy!!! #AuroraBorealis #Physics #NerdAndProud

About an hour ago, the sky turned blood red over Bavaria, Germany. It's the first time I've ever seen an #Aurora in my life. It was so bright to be easily visible with the naked eye. An absolutely jawdropping experience. 🖖😳✨

polarlights appearing just after sunset, 22:16 Berlin time; 10s exposure

at 22:29 they got a lot brighter, covering half if the sky; even some green visible at the bottom; another 10s exposure

vertical 10s exposure at 22:37

before fading again, they moved westward in front of the moon, here an 10s exposure at 22:46 showing distinct lines shaped by the magnetic field

I do appreciate the honesty of the people who, when posting spectacular #aurora pictures, disclosed that these were the output of their mobile’s night mode and didn’t actually look like what they actually saw.
