See It For Yourself!
Two video tapes are available in either VHS NTSC or PAL
format...
Aurora (2nd Edition)
Aurora is a 27-minute video tape presentation of the best displays
of the aurora borealis observed during the 1985-1986 winters in Fairbanks,
Alaska. This presentation of the northern lights enables anyone to experience
the stunning color and movement of an auroral display without risking the
frostbite lurking in a subarctic winter night!
The music accompanying the dynamic swirling or the aurora on this videotape is
from the Symphony in Ursa Major, performed by the Fairbanks
Symphony Orchestra under the baton of composer Gordon Wright.
$20 + $5 postage and handling (see

The Aurora Explained
The Aurora Explained (30 minutes) tells what northern lights are,
how they work, and why and when they appear where they do. Though accurate and
based on current knowledge, the narration is nontechnical, suitable for anyone
from sixth graders to science graduates. And the aurora provides its own
illustrations, in brilliant scene after scene of stunning arcs and colorful
curtains, vivid folds and ghostly flickers. This is aurora as it usually can be
seen only under the best viewing conditions, in the frigid chill of subarctic
night, but now available for viewing in the warmth and comfort of homes
everywhere.
To enhance your viewing pleasure, music written especially to accompany these
scenes of auroras in action has been provided by Alaskan musician and composer
Yonni Fischer.
