Mike Hollingshead is s storm chaser from Nebraska. Just came across some of his amazing aurora images via digg. They sure look unreal! For thos of you who didn’t know, Aurora is a glow in the night sky. It is also known as “aurora polaris” or in northern latitudes, as “aurora borealis” or “northern lights”. It is caused by electrons of typical energy obtained by the electrons passing through a voltage difference. The light is produced when they collide with atoms of the upper atmosphere. Here are some of Mike’s photographs, but be sure to visit his website for whole-lot-more of them! Image below gave me impression of a Ghost Ship comming out of the fog!

Some people say that the lights are caused by spirits, or God.(I’m a christion.)0:)
God IS amazing…Screw you Pete. I don’t see how people can’t just believe in God, they just have to make up excuses for his miracles.
i dont see the gost ship
“We made the sky a preserved and protected roof yet they turn away from Our Signs”. Kuran,Surah Al-Aubija 32. 1432 years ago.
In the Kuran God calls our attention to a very interesting attribute to the sky.This attribute to the sky has been prooved by scientific reserches done in 20th century. The atmosphere surounding the earth serves crucial function for the continuity of life. While destroying many meteors big and small as they aproach the earth.Prevents them from falling to earth and harming living things.There are numerous facts proven on other dangers passing through, like the ultra violet rays and the freezing temperatures from the space.
“Which is it, of the favors of your Lord that you deny?” Kuran.
This God dude is one Photoshop master.
HOW CAN SOMETHING COME FROM NOTHING?
I find it funny that ‘Angel Eyes’ doesn’t believe in God even though the Angels are a part of him. The jokes on her, calling people idiots even though she can’t spell fields…moron
oh my god … oh … yeah … its me
ahhh. science is beautiful
try this cool experiment ,.. you buy a loto ticket every day and pray to GOD to win ,.. ill sit at home and pray to myself that you lose ,.. time will tell all who is mightyest
All of u who think god doesnt exist, think about this… “what created earth?”, u guys think its the big bang, BUT, who created the tiny atoms that needed to collide in order to created the universe? law says that matter cannot come from nothing therefore there must be a god who created the universe. there is no other possible explanation, so all u science geeks out there, just heed my warning. if you do not think there was jesus, or that he saved people just because it goes against all the laws of science, you’re wrong. god created science, so surely he sould be able to change it!
The pictures are nice. These pictures are pretty. And all of the comments written on this page are witty. The end. I love arguments. Debates. I believe in God as well. I don’t need proof. It’s a “belief” and that’s good enough for me. :) Wouldn’t you like to think you get to go to Heaven when you die? I do.
You are more likely to get struck by lightning than win the lottery, so your bringing up something totally different. I’m pretty sure God doesn’t control everything. Like probability.
No, there is no such thing as god, or multiple gods. Time and space and atoms and whatever, they were always here and always will be here. Then, yes, this appeared by chance. You would think that in infinite time, one thing as beautiful as this is bound to happen.

If God created Matter, then who created God? Your logic is circular and therefore flawed.
(personally does not believe in god, but not bringing it into this)
I think it’s beautiful, but not sure why you put it on an illusions site. shouldn’t we just be glad it’s here?
yeah, but it’s much funnier arguing, won’t stop you guys.
*sigh* rebutting creationist nonsense whilst looking at truly spectacular natural sight that border on the sublime, never gets old just repetitive.
Aurora are the result of highly charged particles ejected from the sun, interacting with the gasses (plural) in our atmosphere at different altitudes.(red for Nitrogen and green for Oxygen, I believe…)
The ionised plasma is carried in magnetic loops through space which interfere with the Earth’ magnetic field, distorting it, which is how the aurora wander over so wide an expanse. However because the field strength of any magnetic core is strongest at the poles (where the field lines narrow) that is where most of the energetic particles are concentrated which is why the lights are mostly concentrated in the polar regions. However it is not unknown, during particularly powerful solar storms for example, for the aurora to extend to the equator (as happened in 1859 – history buffs.)
In the words of one far wiser than I: isn’t it enough to see that the garden is beautiful without having to imagine their are fairies at the bottom of it too?

The koran and the bible are about as scientific as my little finger.
It’s classic apologetics to claim that these books contains insights later confirmed by science, and it’s all of it false or at the very least a claim made in abject ignorance (or possibly deliberate obscurantism) of all the things they get wrong (like in the Koran, the moon is implied able to produce it’s own light rather than reflecting the light of the sun – Sura 71:16 – and the moon, like the sun, orbits the earth – Sura 36:40 – well half right I suppose) There’s also the notable absence of anything *useful* for example a germ theory of disease. How many millions could have been saved in God had imparted that one to Moses or if Gabriel had been a bit more chatty with Mo’?
If anyone tell you these books are scientific, pity them in their ignorance.

I don’t expect a reply – but what if your beliefs are wrong? how would you ever find out or check?Shouldn’t we strive to at least have informed ourselves about matters in order to inform our beliefs?
You speak of getting into Heaven (on the matter of eternal life I can think of nothing more stupefying or demeaning – but anyway) but contrasting it with your above statement, would god -if it existed in the manner and form you expect – not welcome someone into Heaven who had critically examined their beliefs and arrived at their conclusion through deliberation of amongst other things the evidence for holding such a belief – over someone who believed (howsoever fervently) without ever engaging in such inquiry. Why exactly do you expect to get into Heaven on this basis?
Not that I accept such a concept is even plausible let alone evidenced and certainly not desirable particularly with it’s correlate.
But I should think god would esteem critical thought, why do you not?

That quiet enough debunking of religions for one evening. The Northern lights are an amazing – and yes, terrifying – feature of our world (though by no means restricted it to it – aurora have been observed on Jupiter for instance) we should be lifted and enriched by our knowledge of what they truly are and not live in fear of ancestral ghosts of the north, or give into to the simplistic and childish embrace of mystery preferred by the creationists. The rainbow is no more unweaved for having explained it, and the aurora are no more terrestrial for our knowing their place in the sky; rather they demonstrate, in truly celestial sense, our tiny planets place on the grand cosmic stage, and in this they are illuminating in more ways that one.
beautiful…=)
