Special attraction: View Aurora Borealis from the inside! http://www.rymdbolaget.se/default.asp?groupid=

I never watched aurora due to my geographic location... when I made a trip to Norway, it was summer so no dark sky even at midnight , now I'm planning to go in Iceland within few next years... (probably the suborbital flight inside aurora is too expensive for me!). In the meantime, SpaceWeather published a beautiful February aurora gallery and this image in particular is incredible: http://www.spaceweather.com/aurora/images2...ristiansen1.jpg -------------------- I always think before posting! - Marco -
