Three cheers for Earth's protective magnetic field! 🥳 🎉 👏 👏

I'd love to see it for myself with my own eyes. Every time auroras are forecast in the UK I look out of the windows at night to see if I can spot it but I never do. It doesn't help with the street lights, some of which never go out. I've only ever seen it once, I'll never forget it. One time Dad and I were at one of his friends places, and I kept seeing green flashes of light in the sky and I didn't know what it was. Apparently that was the aurora every now and then lighting up the sky.

One word, Sun .

Suspicious0bservers!!! Magnetic pole shift is underway. Shields are at 70% strength, captain!

Its weakening at an exponential rate.

How beautiful is the firmament!!!

I live in southern New Mexico and missed out on the auroras we had this weekend. Fortunately, local people posted pictures they took. Deep rose and purple covering the whole sky. I'm certain we'll have more of these southern events this year and next.

we will be seeing these more and more and more our magnetosphere is weakening we are having a pole flip

Our magnetic field is on a slippery slope of decline. Put that with being in solar maximum it’s taking less energy to cause them. They’re magnificent to see to be sure.

The video explains the aurora phenomenon in great detail!! I myself also have different perspectives on this truth. Truly this beauty needs to be discovered...

Surprised the BBC didn’t blame it on farming

Wonderful

I usually go watch them by myself without a camera so I don't see the bright colors. My friend was with this time, and we did get to see all the colors, including the rare blue! I also discovered my phone takes much better pictures than I thought so I got pictures as well.

That's more scary then fascinating.

"The abysses, when beneath a luminous crown the heavenly fire is wanting, forming as it were the circular entrance to a cavern; the turns, when a great rounded flame in the form of a barrel is seen to move from place to place, or to burn immovable; the gulfs, when the heaven seems to open and to vomit flames . . . sometimes these fires are high enough to shine among the stars; at others, so low that they might be taken for the reflection of a distant burning homestead or city." - Seneca, the Younger (4BC - 65AD).

Folks, this video was focused on briefly talking about solar maximum and the upcoming journey back into it. As an amateur astronomer and professional astrophotographer as they’ve said we’ve been here before, about every 11 years. They likely have other videos talking about this. This is just a short video about a specific topic while The Northern Lights are a popular topic right now. They didn’t focus on the Earth’s magnetic field was because that wasn’t the focus of the video. It was just a brief touch on the topic of auroras. Yes, people are talking about it; just do a simple Google or KZfaq search if you want more info. The poles are always slightly shifting. The sun’s poles flip too. Look it up if you want to know. No need to freak out. And denying we humans have no impact on our environment (i.e. climate change) is like never cleaning up your house nor taking a bath and not disposing of any garbage and so forth and claiming it’s not your fault it stinks, rodents have taken up residence, some mold is toxic, you have to crawl over filth, and ya smell. 🙄 Obviously, unless one has NO understanding of nature, we do have an impact on our world. Beavers change their entire environment by building a dam in a waterway; to put it very, very simply. We humans imitate that and so much more. Building a highway will change the way the wind travels and weather for that area. Building a manmade lake can actually create lake effect snow in winter among other things. Putting up a building and cutting down trees will change wind, weather, wildlife movements, and so forth. Sheesh, I’ll never understand deniers and gripers complaining about cleaning up after themselves and folks wanting clean water, fresh clean air, planting trees, and doing whatever we can to make the world a better place. Yes, we live and should love life and part of that is building things and travel, but seriously cleaning up after ourselves actually benefits us too.

It's not just the northern lights... NZ and Australia were treated to the southern lights last Saturday... In places that have never had them before.....

I've only seen them once when I was visiting family in Northern Quebec. They do make a sound - I always compared it to the sound of the old Wrigley gum foil wrappers.

LSD and this phenomena are a match made in heaven

@BBC Global, can you add subtitles please?

You focus on these aurorae as being "a thing of beauty". No mention of Kristian Birkeland? The Norwegian scientist that made the discovery of the sun being the origin of the aurora... These are electric phenomena. You made no mention of the earth's magnetic field weakening at an accelerating rate? and that the current aurorae are much more vivid and intense than the same intensity CMEs would have produced decades ago. Even with constant CME intensity in the near future, aurorae will be more intense as our magnetic field reduces even further. A Carrington Event today would be a termination level event for civilization as we know it.

The Aurora! Northern Lights!

I love the mixture of modernity and tradition from the lady herder!!

Psy-op for the coming solar flare

As beautiful as they are. Our planet is in extreme danger. When will main media start being honest?

'We' see it only on clear dark nights but this is a 24-7-365¼ (if the 'Solar wind' is strong enough) phenomenomenon.

A few days ago people from north and south of us in Germany spotted aurora. But, we didn't lol

Why don't the BBC question the link between global warming and auroras? The do it for everything else?

Thank god for the closed caption ... Almost impossible to understand all the words..🧐😒

Surprised they did not try to blame climate change like they do with everything else

I got a fantastic display overhead in Bolton, Lancashire. I made a GIF of 1,000+ frames took with my planetary camera and all sky lens. I uploaded it too. :)

How come no one is talking about our magnosphere weakening? The poles are moving and causing the magnosphere to weaken. That is why we see the Aroras in such low attitudes! Suspicious Observers on KZfaq!

I used to live in the north woods, and was economicly pushed out so the state park,and rich people from the outside world could take the indigenous people out. Most went to the city or whatever. I drove the lower 48 and Canada then when Dad died, bought my own house in Florida. I'm still there but would trade for a warm shack and a big stash of dty goods in the forest again. Beautiful colors in the sky. The Earth is Fantastic and just Awesome.

Why was the earths weakening magnetic field not discussed. We have seen the auroras this time as far south as porto reca with only a g3 cme, when last seen there 1857 and 1920's of was a g80 and g50 even, not a g3. Why the gas lightning?

💖

One word - Nibiru

Was supposed to be seen in UK the other day however, I didn't see it.

Magnetic is field is down almost 30%. We have only a few years left.

Do they move fast or slow?

At the south pole, this intriguing phenomena is referred to by locals as the "other" northern lights.

Was this somehow supposed to be educational? The reason I ask is you didn't even touch on why we are seeing Aurora's further south in the northern hemisphere and further north in the southern hemisphere. And the answer to that is the Earth's weakening magnetic field. What used to take a lot of energy from the Sun, doesn't take as much energy now to impact the Earth. If we're going to teach people, let's give them reality because just giving them half the story is, not okay.

Auroras will gradually become more intense until what looks like molten steal pours from the heavens and supersonic firestorms engulf the planet. Welcome to the arrival of the golden age.

the whole us saw northen ligth

We'll see in 2 weeks if the sunspot got larger

Even visible in Poland last day. I never seen solar lights but I wonder why they become visible here.

❤❤❤❤

Want to see the northern lights holding Brians hand

Nothing about the weakening magnetic field that is actually causing the aurora penetration. Thanks bbc for the malinformation.

First in my bucket list ❤

It was Haarp, not the northern lights. That's why they could see it in America, which is impossible.

Reminds me water nations in Avatar

we were Lucky

Hmm. Background music too overpowering. Makes a lot of the Scandinavian english unintelligible. 😕

Someone said they dreamt that after some strong northern lights there would be a tsunami very very big waves.

No mention of our magnetic shield’s weakening or it’s movement towards reversal..? Bbc, that’s not like you to tell half a story… is it?

man what a fluff piece didn't have hear them talk about "Why the Northern Lights could get more intense" ffs

Without that magnetic field life wouldn't be possible. What a beautiful thing.......

why go all the way to Finland? You can go to Mexico these days to see the Aurora...mainstream media (or "the clown show" if you listen to a suspiciously observant channel) seems to ignore the real reasons why auroras are intensifying

look up "earth's pole shift"

What a lot of BS, not a word about the declining magnetic field what is causing this. BBC at it's best...🤣

Just the sun prepping for BTS return and their away trip before going public as the OT7 again ;)

When the angels of the north take mushrooms.

Is this spiderwoman ?

Yes Earths magnetic field is weakening fast, that with the magnetic pole reversal....fun times....but man made climate crisis 😆 $$$$

I don't see why people make such a big deal out of this. It's just some light. Calm down.

Soo beautiful it msy in Sweden I can tell by clothes .

2:24 "Extraterrestrial" ... Interacting with terrestrial

Enjoy it while it lasts, catastrophic times are coming

We have more nothern lights from weaker solarflares because our magnetic field is declining deu to earths magnetic pole shift. This is also your climate change answer.

The earth mag field is weakening. Auroras more intense and at lower latitudes for the same sun energy... not good. This is what's heating the planet.

Nic3 But soon everything is shutdown😢

There sure are ALOT of 0bservers here!!! ❤❤❤❤❤

So....why every 11 years ?

No mention of the weakening magnetic field>? just the agenda talking points.

We’re all gonna die

Auroras are what angels look like dancing.

The Simpsons said this

Because the plasma apocalypse is coming

This is prophesied and will soon happen when the magnetic shield is no more: Revelation 16:8 The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and the sun was allowed to scorch people with fire.

S.O That is all.

Our magnetic field is rapidly weakening, that's why aurora are increasingly visible at lower lattitudes.

Oh look, indigenous white people on BBC, how unusual.

Clickbait! First part of the video is about reindeer’s. They just using the recent events of northern lights to get more views 😂

There's a Johnny Cash song about all this, I think it's called 'the ring of fire' 😁 see you near T

Could? They are already more intense and thats because of the decreasing magnet field of earth. Duh!

I wonder if us humans are responsible for increased solar activity as well????? It must be that we are doing something to the Sun as well😉😉🤪

galactic current sheet

As usual the propaganda machine fails to point out the underlying mechanisms of increased aurora sightings. A bad patch to be travelling through..

Haarp not responsible in the increased aurora ?

First

pole shift ahead

Flippin' Brexit

its scary to think mass extinctions in the past could well be down to this pole shifting phenomena

The magnetic poles are shifting, why is no one talking about this? As this happens our magnetic sphere weakens and makes us more vulnerable to emp

pole shift

I still miss the real explanation why are the light brighter, more frequent and seen farther away from the north pool?........ Yes I miss the information over the declining magnetic field of earth and the shifting of the pools. Why this is happening and what's ahead!

Aurora borealis and Aurora Australis are being created artificially using HAARP technology 📱, including the recent activity from the 🔟th to the 13th of May. 😂😂😂😂😅😅😂😅😅

Carbon tax will make this all go away. C’mon, BBC….

Re: the title... Climate change of course 🙄

HAARP
