How much can the brightness change during an auroral outburst? This set of photos was taken when the aurora broke out in the early morning of April 3 this year. I used a fisheye lens to record the continuous changes within 4 minutes, and the single photo was exposed for 6 seconds. The bottom of each photo is north, and the right is east. It can be seen that the aurora only dances in the northern sky after falling from the zenith. At first, there were only faint red and green auroras in the sky. Next, the intensity of the red auroras does not change significantly, but the green part becomes stronger and stronger, and the amplitude of the dance becomes larger and larger. In less than 4 minutes, the red and green auroras filled the entire northern sky, swaying and dancing from west to east! This was my first time to see the aurora. The changes in intensity were so huge, far beyond my imagination. It was really a wonderful experience.
