Auroras are one of the most beautiful and dramatic spectacles we can see on Earth. Now that we’re in solar maximum–where the Sun is at its peak activity level within its 11-year cycle–auroras are more common, particularly after large solar flares like the one we had recently. Learn how to get the best photos of this phenomenon! https://lnkd.in/eJDHTseJ
The northern lights nature’s way of showing off while we stand freezing, trying to take blurry photos!!
2024 was the first time I'd ever seen them. Shot this in Dateland, AZ May 10th, 2024 with a GoPro at ISO 1600 15-20 sec. on a tripod. Using the wide-angle lens of a GoPro showed how huge they were, Ursa Major (The Big Dipper) is at the top of this photo for scale. Another tip is if you don't have a cable release on your digital camera to use your camera's countdown timer delay to avoid camera shake. Color adjusting with RAW photos brought into Adobe LightRoom are far superior in image data than JPEGS brought into Mac's Photos app.
Absolutely incredible! Where are the prime opportunities located to view the auroras?
The beauty of auroras truly captivates us, especially during solar maximum! It's fascinating how solar activity influences these stunning displays. Thank you, NASA, for sharing insights on capturing such moments. It’s a reminder of how interconnected we are with nature and the universe.
NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration … Question of the day: Is there a way to get a “notice” after a solar flare happen? Like an automatic text/email/something? … we believe at my job/as a Facilities Manager here in MD, we lose equipment due to solar flares. I can’t prove it … but sure the timing is close to it and I have a mechanic who believes in it. Any thoughts? Suggestions? Help!
Spectacular, isn’t it. Quick question: what if we develop our brains so powerful in sense that we know everything, I mean everything like a god, then will there be any excitement to live at all? You wanna go to heaven to feel different happiness! Just think, its possible for sure.
Incredible natural beauty to explore and capture!
Amazing thank you for sharing.

4dNASA can conduct research to determine the nature of the Northern Lights? This is strategic information - the Earth's orbit is in the channel of a cosmic river (at the atomic level). This river flows into the South Pole and flows out of the North Pole. This is the "Northern Lights"! The planet is being washed of pollution that remains in the process of life! Without this, we could have perished long ago!
