Earth aurora videos
(i.e., Earth
aurora
videos):
High cal ones:
- Aurora Australis from near McMurdo Station and Scott Base | 1:46:
Shot in the vicinity of
McMurdo Station, Antarctica,
Geographic coordinates: 77°50'47''S, 166°40'06''E
and Scott Base, Antarctica,
Geographic coordinates: 77°50'57''S, 166°46'06''E
in Antarctica.
Nifty to look at, but NOT terribly informative. OK for the
classroom.
-
Earth | Time Lapse View from Space, Fly Over | NASA, ISS | 5:00:
Pretty spectacular.
A time-lapsed set of
images from
the International Space Station (ISS).
The astronauts
see the rolling by of the Earth much more
slowly, and, of course, they don't see
aurora and
thunderstorms all the time.
This is how Superman or
Zeus might see
the world---Superman's
POV.
Ordinarily too long for the
classroom, but it makes a
good opening/closing/break video.
- Aurora Borealis Night Sky Time Lapse -
Northern Lights - Nikon D5100 and Tokina 11 | 5:03:
Aurora at ∼ 1:40--2:40 and the rest
is just Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia,
Canada
(which is
at ∼46° north latitude).
The video
is time-lapsed.
We are looking north and can see
Polaris at the
NCP and
the Big Dipper wheeling around it
counterclockwise.
Kill sound, add dialogue.
Short enough for the classroom.
Low cal ones:
- NASA | The Mystery of the Aurora
| 2:15:
Informative, but too long for the
classroom.
- Saturn's Beautiful Aurora | 2:07:
Informative, but
too long for the classroom.
- Northern Lights - The Sky At Night - BBC Four | 5:53:
The evening news view of aurora.
Some explanation.
Too long for the classroom.
-
Fox Snow Dive | 0:58 :
Neat fox
snow
diving for tidbits.
Short enough for the classroom.
