Aurora curls were just caught on video for the first time
Aurora curls, which can normally only be detected on sensitive instruments, were just caught on video in Iceland. Jeff Dai, an astrophotographer and amateur astronomer, was at the Kerid Crater in Iceland on Jan. 16 when he noticed aurora curls above him. Aurora curls are rare, so even scientists don’t have a definitive answer to how they form or why they happen, according to the BBC, but it’s believed they are part of the magnetic waves that help create auroras.
