Northern Lights From Balloon

As part of Project Aether Alaska, watch as these lucky dogs send a weather balloon up to the edge of space, with HD cameras attached, to get a nearly “eye-level” view of the aurora borealis. It’s a good lesson in how these projects are carried out, how difficult they are, and what the beautiful images can teach us.
