Passenger aircraft passing through the Northern Lights would've been a great set-up for 50's Sci-Fi flick. Either they go into another time and space or get strange powers both would work.
Ok...so in my research prior to attempting a clever caption (yes...sometimes I spend too much time on this) I learned something cool on Wikipedia when searching for "Aurora (astronomy)". I know the Wiki ain't always fact, but it's still cool.
Scroll down to "events of historical signifigance", specifically the transmission between telegraph operators using only the power that the aurora provided.

ReplyDeleteAbsolutely !
ReplyDeleteWas lucky enough to see those (a smaller version, since I don't live far enough north for the full show) once. They're hypnotizing.
ReplyDeleteNice work!
ReplyDeleteWow Jackie - I'm jealous. I've been many places but have never seen the Northern Lights.
ReplyDeleteVery cool.
