Real Time Footage of Aurora

Bad Astronomy wrote Real time footage of aurora shows them dancing and shimmering "Aurorae video is generally done with time lapse to show the movement, which is usually slow. I’ve often wondered just how fast the movement really is; I always figured fluctuations in the solar particle density, speed, and magnetic fields would produce real-time changes in the lights, but I’d never seen anything like this!
