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.
An astrophotographer recently captured a super rare weather phenomenon on a trip to Iceland. Taking to Instagram, astrophotographer Jeff Dai shared a video of rippling green aurora curls dancing in the night sky above Iceland.
