I still can't get over the fact that the Auroras are a release of energy from our planet's protective magnetosphere
as it is stretched by the constant solar wind and then 'snaps back' to produce the light/electromagnetic-radiation we see in that video.
Mind boggling awesomeness. X-Men villain Magneto got nothing on real life physics.

Lush.
I wonder how much the film was speeded up though? I wish they'd include detail like that...

It's time lapse photography
so it's not "speeded up" as such, but a collection of stills joined together.
*probably not very helpful blog*

Semantics, surely?
Okay then...."I wonder how often still photographs were taken and then subsequently shown in sequence so as to give the illusion of movement?"
