Aurora borealis
« on: October 13, 2010, 10:08:40 AM »
A good display of the Northern Lights was seen as far south as Oslo this week. Worth keeping a lookout in Scotland too:  http://www.yr.no/nyheter/1.7331927 (use Google translate)

I saw the Aurora Australis (the Southern Lights) near here about 20 years ago on one of the rare occasions that it reached this far north.  Amazing!  Given how much stronger the northern lights apparently are, they must be breathtaking. :o

Min winter temp -8 or -9°C. Max summer temp 40°C. Thankfully, maybe once or twice a year only.

Can you see this video outside of Norway? It's an amazing video of time-lapse photography of the Aurora in Tromsø as you might have seen it if you'd visited the Arctic-Alpine Botanical Garden in winter...

Unfortunately the 'music' was time lapsed too. Must be my connection? :(
