Aurora is an amazing art performance of nature. This collection of time-lapse videos is an enchanting record of the northern lights. The sequences are made during September 2011 in Yellowknife, northern Canada.

National Science Foundation Press Release - January 16, 2012
“More than 500 million years ago, single-celled organisms on Earth’s surface began forming multi-cellular clusters that ultimately became plants and animals.
