Make sure to watch the video too, taken by an all-sky camera run by the University of Alaska. The video shows the spiral as it starts forming at ~1:30. The spiral expands to cover much of the sky, and then dissipates -- all in just a few seconds.
- aardvarkr 4y agoThanks for including the time stamp. That’s a pretty amazing sight to witness
- tqkxzugoaupvwqr 4y agoIn 6–7 minutes real time (see timestamp bottom right). The video is sped up.
- cs702 4y agoSorry, yes. That's what I meant. Thanks! :-)
- yread 4y agoI find the northern lights captured by the camera much more interesting than the rocket spiral
