Aurora Borealis - The Northern Lights

Through my flying career, i have seen some amazing sights, sounds and signs, but i can tell you, none have been as splendid or spectacular as the Aurora Borealis, also knows as the Northern Lights. Northern lights is a result of our atmosphere shielding against solar particles which would otherwise make our planet uninhabitable.The aurora is a glow observed in the night sky, usually in the polar zone, but its the nature and shape of the glow which makes it so beautiful to look at. The biggest mistake i made was i never photographed it, i will...Till then the memories will do. Oh and i also saw a rising Venus, but then thats another story!
