NORTHERN LIGHT CRUISE | 21:00
Report from Eldey: Tonight the forecast was indicating a kp 3 and only some high clouds. The night was cold but pleasant with not too much wind or swell. We quickly stopped at the Imagine Peace Tower that is illuminated at this time of the year. We were noticing some faded northern lights in the sky through the camera but not very visible with our eyes. We waited, patient to see if there was some evolution, seeing some beautiful shooting stars. They became slowly stronger until we could see a long arch meander between the stars from a side of the sky to the other. It became greener and brighter through the night with some dancing northern lights. A wonderful night.

What are the northern lights? The bright dancing lights of the aurora are actually collisions between electrically charged particles from the sun that enter earth's atmosphere. The temperature above the sun surface is millions of degrees Celsius. At this temperature, collisions between gas molecules are frequent and explosive particles enter the earth's atmosphere.
