COSMIC MESSAGE

Sometimes, after your eyes adapt to the dark, a spectacular sky appears. In March 2011, one of the largest auroral displays in recent years appeared over northern Norway. This time-lapse movie shows auroras flowing over snow-covered landscapes, trees, clouds, mountains, and lakes near Kirkenes.
