Last Sunday Jari Romppainen posted a short video of the aurora over Lapland on 5 January. On that day, full daylight in Ranua, Finland lasted only 3 hours and 36 minutes though there were more than 7 hours of twilight. That night the sky would have been dark for nearly 13 hours but the aurora and a waxing crescent moon made it bright.
Quite unbelievable moment we got again last night ??

Two years ago on 14 January 2023, Romppainen captured more than five minutes of aurora magic. Sometimes the lights resemble a waterfall cascading into Earth’s atmosphere.
Here’s where the videos were filmed. Do you understand Finnish? You can tell me what they’re saying.
