Unique Spectacle of The Aurora Borealis
photo by Sebastian Voltmer
These amazing pictures and videos show the aurora, also known as the Northern Lights, which appeared over Kirkenes-Fjell.
Norway is well known as a country to view this stunning phenomenon, but rarely has it been seen in such fantastic clarity.
Auroras are visible all over Norway, but it is best to view them in the north, behind the Arctic Circle.
If you are planning on visiting Norway, the best time that you’ll get a chance to see the Aurora is in late autumn and early spring.
Best viewed in the night sky between 6.00pm and 1.00am, it is much easier to observe and wonder at it’s beauty.
If you’re not planning on visiting Norway in the near future, nothing is lost. Watch the amazing clips captured on film by Sebastian Voltmer.

Green Designs and Experiments Inspired by Gardening
Every season has a purpose. Summer is generally used as a time for relaxation. Autumn is when the harvest is brought in. Winter…well…most people can’t wait for that to be over with. Spring is the gardening season. That brings me to this week’s green designs and experiments. All of them are either useful for gardening or inspired by a garden plant of some kind. Check them out: Manga Farming How many of you are into the whole anime scene? If you...
War of the weevils: Beetles to combat invasive ferns in English canals
A canal in Somerset, southwest England, has become infested with water ferns, which grow rapidly over the surface of water, blocking light and oxygen. This can kill fish and other wildlife. British Waterways, the organization which cares for the UK’s canals and rivers, will release weevils – herbivorous beetles – into the Bridgwater and Taunton Canal. The hope is that the weevils will eat the quickly spreading ferns, which are an invasive non-native species originally brought by the Victorians from North...
Space news: Oceans on Mars, the apocalypse from above and no more men on the Moon
Scientists at the university of Colorado have discovered evidence that suggests that much of Mars was once covered by ocean. From an article by Australia's ABC News: To test their theory Dr Hynek and Mr Di Achille used global databases of known deltaic deposits and valley networks, together with topography data from a laser altimeter aboard NASA's Mars Observer spacecraft which is orbiting the red planet. If Mars had that much water 3.5 billion years ago, what happened to it? And did it...
Your new luxury waterfront property – a recycled oilrig
Would you like to live on an oilrig? It's more reasonable than asking 'would you like to live on the moon?' as was done in a widely ridiculed CNN poll last year. Much more perhaps – if waters rise and cities flood as a result of climate change. 'UK Climate Projections, published last year by the Government, predicted that sea levels would rise by up to 76cm by 2095 but said that there was small risk of a more rapid melting...
China, Japan, Philippines: Extreme weather causes death and chaos in Asia
According to China’s Civil Affairs Ministry, rainstorms and floods have left at least 118 people dead and a further 47 missing in southern China this month. Damage from the flooding includes the destruction of some 101,000 houses, the relocation of 1.1 million people and an estimated financial toll of around $3.3bn (€2.6bn). From a xinhuanet.com report: By 4 p.m. Wednesday, more than 32.3 million people in 10 southern provinces and Chongqing Municipality had been affected by continuous rainstorms and floods, the ministry said.

European Space Agency takes picture of ‘entire universe’
A telescope aboard the European Space Agency’s (ESA) Planck satellite has captured the image of the ‘ghost of the Big Bang’. The image is of the afterglow of the birth of the universe, which happened around 14 billion years ago. Cosmic microwaves are detected in order to form the picture of the very young universe. From an article in the Independent: The radiation was released as the first atoms were forming, just 400,000 years after the Big Bang brought matter, space and time...
Endangered Species of the Week: California condor
Species: California condor (Gymnogyps californianus) Status: Critically Endangered (CR) Interesting Fact: The California condor urinates on its own legs to keep cool! The California condor is a member of the New World vulture family, and has an impressive wingspan of just less than three metres. Native to North America, the California condor soars over large distances on its immense wings, using its vision to spot carrion on which to feed. Its large size means it dominates other scavengers at a carcass, except the...
Breaking News: Captain Pete Bethune is Free to Go Home!
We all know of the ongoing feud between Sea Shepherd and the Japanese whalers. We all know that Captain Pete Bethune was arrested and put on trial, but none of the Japanese were (even though it was Bethune's ship that was destroyed). And despite all the loyal Sea Shepherd supporters, we all expected the trial to turn for the worst. Well, as it turns out, we were all wrong. Captain Peter Bethune is officially a free man--well, at least for 5...
‘Gasland’ film blows the fracking top off US natural gas industry
Gasland is a documentary film written and directed by Josh Fox which explores the practice of hydraulic fracturing, a widespread method used in drilling for natural gas in the United States. Hydraulic fracturing, often referred to as ‘fracking’ (yes, like in Battlestar Galactica), fractures rock in order to get at natural gas deposits in shale reservoirs. Environmental concerns associated with fracking include the contamination of groundwater, issues with air quality, greenhouse gas emissions and areas surrounding sites becoming polluted with natural...
Bonn climate talks news: 10 more years to seal the deal; row over logging
The UN climate talks taking place in Bonn, Germany this week are not proving to be a source of positive news for the global environment. An binding agreement to limit greenhouse gas emissions sufficiently enough to avoid the risk of runaway global warming and climate change were meant to be the goal of last December's climate talks in Copenhagen. But according to the outgoing UN climate chief, this will probably take at least 10 more years. Yvo de Boer, executive secretary of...
