Northern lights: what they don't tell, but you need to know!

the “stages” just aren’t. The color depends on the amount of solar energy hitting our atmosphere. I believe the red/pink is lower energy and the green is higher energy. Pls correct this if wrong.
i’ve watched the start of aurora activity and can report that at solar midnight with sufficient solar energy striking Earth atmosphere the first thing that appears is a ring - imperfect but a ring - over the pole.the lines and swirls come out from that within a few minutes

This is a great video!! Nice, real narration- love it- thanx!

Aurora Borealis, is effect of korrespondance,
with other Planet-Being.
The Green color, symbolize 'cosmic Intelligence',
The korrespondance is surely Intelligent,
but We are not able grasp the Macro-perspective.
50%? of earth quakes and volcano eruptions,
may also be effect of Macro- korrespondance.

Here In Australia we have the Aurora Australis (Southern Lights) they are mainly seeing In two states Tasmania & Victoria, you tend to get the better displays In Tasmania & southern Victoria, I'm located In NW Victoria 100kms from the town called Mildura I've just taken up photography & have been on 3 aurora chases since September last year with a friend & she has got Aurora on every chase. The Auroras In our area are mainly red, pink & purple & are absolutely amazing & that's one of my mission to take my own photo of the Aurora.

For anyone wanting to chase the Glendale app is very good real time Aurora Information as It happens.

I live in Florida but my heart is in Norway. Thanks for post

That is plasma, green is the color of gasses being burnt..
Once it becomes magenta, pink and red means Plasma has breached OUR atmosphere and starting to burn oxygen and hydrogen particles...
Eventually those will reach down and touch earth and create mudfloods again..

I was in Finland in March and saw the northern lights, at first i just thought it was cloud but then i could see faint flickering lights almost like strobe lights shining up but thats when i realized it was the northern lights. Great to see even though it didn't look anything like how they look on social media

One qq- do stage 1-4 all happen on a single night?

Thank you for breaking it down! I saw a stage 1 in Maryland close to a year ago. It was grey and looked like a haze but I could see these weird slow wavy movements sway here and there. It was amazing. It could've been a higher stage and I just couldn't see the color. But I definitely could see what looked like wispy clouds swaying back and forth 😯❤️

I just visited Tasmania, hoped to see the Australia Borealis, however it would be one more month from now!!🙏💚

Can you suggest the best month to visit norway to see lights ?

1st tome I saw them I rushed to the Police Dept ran in screaming UFO UFO a few deputies came in beet red from laughter. Military dependent arrive that morning at work the next night no time for briefing. Once uses to them they were awesome

I spent 5 years in the Antarctic waiting to see the Aurora before realising they were called "northern lights"

Thanks so much for posting this !

My dream place Norway green lights 💚

the southern lights aurora australis are more vivid - or maybe just less light pollution - can be seen in NZ and Australia .
