This video shows what happened on March 17 when an CME (Coronal Mass
Ejection) hit Earth's magnetic field. Two days earlier, sunspot AR1692
had produced a M1-class solar flare that resulted in the CME that hit
Earth.

This time lapse shows what happened during four hours over Astersund here in Sweden, between 19:20 and 23:35 UT.

The time lapse consists of 2464 raw images for a total data amount of 30
giggbytes (Gb). The photo of the Sun is a hydrogen alpha mosaic I've
made from 10 images that was captured on March 16. Total of 10 Gb data.
So all in all this movie contains over 40Gb of data that I've been
processing over the last 5 days. Hope you enjoy it.

A very informative video, and a shortie; not even 4 minutes long.

What was that star-like point on the left side of the orb? The opening?

Dean, all, this video was taken with a panoramic camera, I think they call them. Notice toward the end of the video (at about minute 2:58 a normal photo is shown, I assume of the photographer and the location where he filmed this sequence. Notice also, one can see off in the distance, in the night sky, the bright star behind him. This bright star is what you are seeing in the panoramic circular video sequence. Notice also, that all around the circle/orb along the edges, one can see the dark tree-line and cars going by, and the entire sky is in the center. It took me a while to focus on the perspective too. It must be some amazing camera and computer program he has to produce this. Gary

Gary, you're correct. This wasn't pictures from a satellite or any
space agency source. They were taken from the ground in Sweden, where
they can see aurora's. They use cameras like this at observatories to
monitor meteorites and fireballs daily. Go to the American Meteor
Society and then the link on cameras, and you'll see something similar.

" In the Ramanuja sampradaya ( a sect of Vishnu worshippers ), there is
      a listing of the 108 Tirupatis, the 108 holiest shrines of the earth by
      their
      tradition. The last is the North Pole for it is there that the divine
      effulgence of Lord Shri Vishnu can be observed in the form of Aurora
      Borealis."
      I think I got this from a book on Hindu Astrology.
