Description: I want to thank all Youtubers for the positive feedback to the first northern lights video in this series. It has been favorited more than 9000 times so far. Many ask me about the techniques: I developed a ultra light sensitive color webcam that hourly generates time lapse movies. At the moment we have five cameras of this type running in different countries. This is another movie from the camera in British Columbia, Canada. It was taken on Jun/28/2006 and shows northern lights in a summer night. There are some bright clouds near the horizon on the left. These are noctilucent clouds. Noctilucent clouds are the highest clouds in the Earth's atmosphere, located in the mesosphere at altitudes of around 82 km (50 miles), and are visible only when illuminated by sunlight from below the horizon while the ground and lower layers of the atmosphere are in the Earth's shadow; otherwise they are too faint to be seen. Noctilucent clouds are not fully understood by science today. Look for this kind of clouds in a summer night. You may spot them near the northern horizon when you live in the northern hemisphere in a latitude between 50 and 60 degrees.

sublimefish ::: Favorites Zocann and miniwyo you're both wrong. The magnetic energy is not hitting the earth. Energized particles from the sun are interacting with the magnetic fields that are emanating from the Earths magnetic core. So Zocann theres no light coming from the earth and miniwyo we are not being hit by anything magnetic. 07-06-13 20:23:45 _____________________________________________________

Mytownhomeboy123 ::: Favorites More than likely an airplane. At this speed, you more than likely would not see a meteor at all. 07-07-10 18:27:56 _____________________________________________________
Mytownhomeboy123 ::: Favorites All the stars are moving the same rate. None are moving faster than the other from Earth's POV. 07-07-10 18:28:36 _____________________________________________________
