champions_sharron Earth aurora videos (i.e., Earth aurora videos):
      High cal ones:
      1. 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.
      2. 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.
      3. 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:
      1. NASA | The Mystery of the Aurora | 2:15: Informative, but too long for the classroom.
      2. Saturn's Beautiful Aurora | 2:07: Informative, but too long for the classroom.
      3. Northern Lights - The Sky At Night - BBC Four | 5:53: The evening news view of aurora. Some explanation. Too long for the classroom.
      4. Fox Snow Dive | 0:58 : Neat fox snow diving for tidbits. Short enough for the classroom.
