So, in keeping with my Friday tradition of posting things that I personally like, related to astronomy or not, here is this weeks thing (that just so happens to be related to astronomy.) :
In The Land Of The Northern Lights from Ole Christian Salomonsen on Vimeo.
A friend of mine in the astronomy club sent me this video. I also noticed it slowly spreading across the internet on a few sites. But if you haven't seen it yet, it is wonderful. On the video page, the guy that made this video provides a great write up on how he made this video. It includes over 50,000 still images over 6 months.
The movement is similar to what you would see if you were there watching it in person. This is thanks to the time lapse and speed of the video. It is amazing to see these auroral snakes move across the sky, and I hope one day to see them myself, Norway seems like a beautiful country.

The vid doesnt work budsky
Very cool!
Weird, the video seems to work for me. It might just be Vimeo, I dunno if you are in another country, might not work? Also, it links to the actual video if you are having problems getting it to work.
Just too beautiful! It's a hot damn shame I cant see things like this in my home town! I think it would be less crazy over here if it was :(
nice blog!
followed!

Norway is awesome, I wish I could go there too!
awesome, would like to see it in real
one of the best natural wonders. :D
Man, I'm definitely going to be more on vimeo than on youtube. Better quality on the videos, in both senses.
It's one of my dreams to see the Northern Lights. Soon, soon.
i enjoy it as well

I have never seen auroras (aurorae?) with my own eyes and I feel strongly that I need to rectify this one day.
Welcome to Finland, we have Aurora Borealis too :)
great place.hoping to go there someday.
I live in a land of the northern lights. I guess after a while one just takes them for granted.
Hell yeah, brings back memories of the simpsons when skinner invited super intendent Chalmers to his house and burns his kitchen and then mr chalmers goes like GOOD LORD WHAT IS HAPPENING IN YOUR KITCHEN and Skinner says Aurora Borealis. Chalmers goes in a frenzy saying "Aurora borealis at this time of year at this time of day in this part of the country localized entirely in your Kitchen." yes, May i see it??...... NO.
I would love to see the northern lights in person!!
love the northern lights...
wow very beautiful. wish I were there.
