Video Description

The magnetic field of the earth was struck by a Coronal Mass Ejection from the sun during the late night of March 10th, 2011. The CME sparked very bright Northern Lights over Northern North America just after 11:00 P.M. local time. This video was shot in Minnesota just north of the city of Saint Cloud, MN. The video shows a very bright Aurora Borealis also known as The Northern Lights dancing in the sky. The Aurora peaked about the same time as the earth quake in Japan before Midnight local time in Minnesota.
