3 of 3 | Aurora Borealis are the Northern Lights

View with alternate video source

Scene notes:

…which strobe, creep, and flow in the night sky. The continuation of another clip. High Cirrus, highlighted in red by normal light pollution from one of the most northern towns of Alberta, stand against the bright green of the northern lights. It is likely coincidence that makes the clouds and Aurora seem connected in some ways at parts of the sky. There is no ground horizon shown exempt for a small outline of trees in the bottom-right of the frame.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
7 seconds and 27 frames.

Above Jasper Park mountains, dim aurora and night sky

Scene notes:

A small portion of the frame has the mountains silhouetted on the Northern Lights. The other roughly 95 percent of the frame comprises stars. The Aurora flash stochastically as the long exposures span the length of time that the light intensifies and dims.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
7 seconds and 21 frames.

Over the boreal forest are the distant Northern Lights

View with alternate video source

Scene notes:

The view over sub-arctic woods at night. One of the last areas this far north with any significant light pollution (man-made light that has a significant impact on the darkness of the night), the Northern Lights are observable in the distant thermosphere, around 65 miles above the Earth. This clip contains the lowest amount of transforming aurora in the entire collection.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
7 seconds and 65 frames.

Green and shimmering lights of the Aurora Borealis 2 of 2

Scene notes:

A towering complex of clouds at sunrise, with the sun outside the frame. The point of view is angled steeply upward and southerly. Where the sun glows in amber and gold on the clouds exposed to its light, both delicate outer edges of denser towering clouds and nebulous areas from later in convection are brightly illuminated. Almost certain is the probability these clouds will produce rain later in the day.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
11 seconds and 24 frames.
