Yes, I always learn something from these documentaries. A pictures is worth a thousand words, but the opposite is true as well!

[Øivind Tøien]

Thanks again all of you for the comments, I am glad the images could provide insights.

Don’t know how I missed this, and I’m really late to the party, but I did want to compliment you on producing a most interesting post!

[Øivind Tøien]

Thanks Arthur, well done spotting it so long time after.

Unfortunately, all the great research at our university is now in jeopardy and we do not know what will be left, but I will have to come back to that later in another post.

Well that makes two of us - my bad.  Great post.

Research work and the funding gymnastics that goes behind the research are something that I could never cope with.  Sadly a lot of scientists, especially in the university sector, hit these walls to continuing their work.

Glad that the thread can still be to enjoyment. Not sure if I posted this link earlier in the thread, but I use to check the image created by one of the Poker Flat all-sky cameras daily for auroral activity etc:

It is a bit north of us, but it gives a good indication what to expect, as the aurora camera in Fairbanks has not been operating since this spring.
