Summary
[edit]Description002 Northern lights in the night sky over Mývatn in Iceland Video by Giles Laurent.webm |
English: Timelapse of the Northern lights in the night sky over Mývatn in Iceland. Polar aurorae are caused by the collision of charged particles in the solar wind with gases in the upper atmosphere. These collisions generate tiny flashes of light that fill the sky with veils of colour. Video captured by Giles Laurent
Français : Timelapse des aurores boréales dans le ciel nocturne de Mývatn en Islande. Les aurores polaires sont causées par la collision des particules chargées du vent solaire avec les gaz de la haute atmosphère. Ces collisions génèrent de minuscules éclats de lumière qui remplissent le ciel de voiles de couleur.
Deutsch: Zeitrafferaufnahme der Nordlichter am Nachthimmel über Mývatn in Island. Polarlichter werden durch die Kollision geladener Teilchen des Sonnenwindes mit den Gasen der oberen Atmosphäre hervorgerufen. Diese Kollisionen erzeugen winzige Lichtblitze, die den Himmel mit farbigen Schleiern füllen. |
