For the people wondering if they do look this good in real life or if it is all just fancy camera stuff, I can assure you that they can actually look this good. It depends a lot on location and conditions and they aren't usually this good. They generally move slower and are primarily just green, but I have seen lights just as good or better on multiple occasions.
Leave those poor joyless redditors the excitement of going "uhm actually" on every aurora video.
Although on this video they're already going all stoicism police on a guy reacting "the wrong way" and being too expressive. You must understand: imagine they were there and standing with their ears pressed right against his face, it would RUIN their experience.
This has nothing to do with your comment but I needed to vent somewhere.
It's ridiculous. I get that it's easy to notice his reaction on the video, but if you are there in the moment it's not like you would mind that much. I was at the Solar Eclipse and I remember big reactions but I was too happy to focus on that.
It's embarrassing because they don't realize they're showing their ignorance 🤣 they think "well I saw them in the Midwest and actually it doesn't look like that" 🤓
Well no shit shirtlock, you live in Iowa. Your northern lights in freaking Iowa does not speak for the people who live in way north Europe like Finland and Norway
