| Mr. Akira Kawazoe, a staff member of the Geisei Observatory has been to
Finland to see auroras. He saw them for only 15 minutes on his 5-day stay
there, but they were unearthly beautiful, mysterious curtains of light
across the sky. The photos here are of greenish magical auroras which were
reflected on the arctic earth. The third photograph is not that of aurora but mysterious beams of light rising in the minus 26-degree air and was taken at 2 am on January 24. The bright light above them is the full moon. Mr. Kawazoe thinks it is probably a phenomenon similar to the sun pillars. |
