As far as I know, this can only be simulated due to limitations of photography or video capture. Here is one such simulation:Bill Davis wrote:I have a request. I have never seen an aurora and the depictions of them thru APOD have so far always been time lapse. I would like to see what an aurora is like in real time.
Other than these sorts of videos, if you want to see them in real time you will have to make plans for the northward trek to see them with your own eyes.Paul Williams, creator of the above video wrote:Every "video" I have seen of the Aurora has been a sped-up time-lapse. This is because the aurora is too faint to record on a video camera, so long-exposure still images are stitched together and played at multiple frames per second. I wanted to show the graceful dance of the Aurora as it really happens, so if you have 11 minutes spare, take a look and let me know what you think! This is still individual images, but I've faded them together at the speed they really happen to give something closer to reality.
