'Time lapse movie of an aurora display on Sep/24/2006 in British Columbia, Canada."



It's really really cool how you can see the Earths rotation by watching the stars move (which I didn't notice until the second time I watched it)

this makes my heart stop and appreciate my life so much...
ellipses does no justice for my feelings.

simply stunning, thanks for sharing

Strange how the stars seem to appear in front of the display, almost like they were superimposed. But then, I've never seen the aurora display -- just too far south and too much air pollution and ground light to see much of anything. I enjoy watching the stars when in the Caribbean. Hard to believe I'm looking at the same sky.

Thanks for sharing that one! It's really cool--- as is your new siggy!

I have only seen the aurora lights from North Dakota and I am sorry to say but the clip is not even close to the beauty you see in the sky. It is something to see. Thank you for sharing the clip!!!!

Yes that was a truly great movie. Makes one appreciate the size of things and our insignificance. The universe is a truly incredible thing.

Years ago, I lived in Kodiak, Alaska.

One of the memories that I will take with me to my last breath is laying on the hood of a 1973 Buick Skylark, on top of a moutain watching the "Northern Lights."

Thank you for sharing that Jake! As wonderful as it is to see in a time lapse, nothing compares to seeing them in person.

Thanks for sharing that one! It's really cool--- as is your new siggy!

Lol thanks... I get a new one every few weeks, but I can't seem to stop making Billie Joe Armstrong/Green Day ones

[epicAdam]

That's really amazing... it almost makes it worth living in near total darkness for part of the year.

[john71]

yea when i get older I wanna head up there for a week.. those lights are the reason why

[BrandonSBCA]

Thanks for sharing that.

Very nice, Jake. You sure have a talent for finding the most interesting things on YouTube!

Thank you Jake for sharing that. I would love to see the Northern Lights. In Britain the Scots get to see them now and again I believe but certainly where I live it is very rare indeed and besides there is too much light pollution. When I can get out into the open countryside and it is a clear night, the spectacle of looking up at the thousands and thousands of stars nearly makes me cry.

I've never seen the northern lights that active, before. Once I saw them as far south as Comox, but it was faint and very subtle. Still, pretty cool.

[JakeBequette]

I'm positive this will kill the thread, but this is todays best youtube! I LOVE it!! lol

[gmoney]

Just for Jake!
