This is real time footage of the Northern Lights or Aurora Borealis, filmed using a Sony PMW-F3 camera on the night of the 24/25th of January 2012. The motion in the Aurora is real time, this is what we saw and witnessed when we watched the Northern Lights from our base camp at Karasjok, Norway. I run tours to photograph and video the Aurora every year. This was one of the best displays I have ever seen. It was the result of a CME, a release of charged particles from the sun that collided with the earths magnetic field and created a glowing ring of light around the North and South poles. The next couple of years should see more of these incredible Aurora as we approach the peak of the 11 year solar cycle. I run photo and video tours to see the northern lights every year, see wild-weather.com/northern-lights-expeditions-to-norway for more details.
