[edit] Problem opening Ogg file

Hello. I can't open the ogg file (Aurora Borealis from ISS) with Audacity neither Amadeus II. The applications don't recognize it as an ogg vorbis file. i don't know how to help, so i just leave this note ! elifsu

It's not Ogg Vorbis audio, it's Ogg Theora video. Please see Wikipedia:Media help. —Keenan Pepper 19:14, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Needs more cultural/historical info

This article is slanting towards too technical... it needs historical and cultural background. Some bits about noteworthy displays in modern times would be worthwhile, too. -76.4.49.201 22:12, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Recorded Sound

The article states that no one has recorded the sounds of the aurora, but what about stephen p. mcgreevy? http://www.auroralchorus.com, have these recordings been disproved?

[edit] Link pruning

Too many external links have sprouted. We particularly don't need links to every pretty picture. You're invited to check a link or two and improve the "External links" section. (SEWilco 05:32, 3 November 2006 (UTC))

Enlarge

It's not great and had I gotten there with the camera 20 minutes before, it was lighting up the whole sky, bottom to top and was just incredible. Still was quite a sight. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Btrotter (talkcontribs) 07:45, 15 December 2006 (UTC).

[edit] Currently Visible Auroras

Why is there no section or link for any currently visible auroras? Or are specific auroras non-notable? AstroHurricane001 22:25, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
