Watch: Stunning Colors of Northern Lights Wow Onlookers

From The Kid Should See This: In the video above, astrophotography enthusiast Matthew Robinson walks out the door at 10:30 pm on November 25th, 2020 to find a very active night sky. In the cold, crisp air of Silsand, Norway, you can hear the delighted reactions of his fellow onlookers. From Storyful:

“We understand enough about the aurora to predict that a display like this is likely, but it kept us waiting for two hours. Then, just as we were about to go to bed… bang! It exploded above our heads,” Robinson said.

Robinson added, “Nothing comes close to this experience and I genuinely wish everyone had the chance to see this.” (Keep reading to find out more about auroras and what causes them and to find more amazing northern light video links.)

Read: Psalm 85, 87, 89:1-29; Exodus 3:1-12; Hebrews 11:23-31; John 14:6-14 

Pray:  Read Psalm 89:1-18 out loud as a prayer. I invite you to do this with a flashlight (or your phone) in your yard or driveway or back deck after dark. 

Do: Go stargazing.

Follow light like the journeying magi. Find every possible way to savor the beauty of light during the darkest time of the year. Light candles, build a fire, sit in the dark and look at your lit tree, visit a holiday light show in town, take a bath by candlelight, go outside and look at the stars.
