Dance of the Northern Lights

Just found this spectacular time-lapse video of aurora borealis. It's truly great, but I wish I could also see it in something more like real-time speed.

I've only seen "live" auroras about five times in my life, and the slowly-changing movement, akin to the languorous movement in a lava lamp, is what makes them hypnotic. This video captures their beauty, but not the essence of watching them.
