Always amusing to see
photos that were impossible just 3 years ago. It's taken for granted now, but only a tick of the clock ago, camera sensors weren't fast enough to get razor sharp, handheld images from an airplane in near total darkness.
We all had the experience of trying to get night shots from airliners. It was completely hopeless for a camera made in 2008.
That took working the proverbial ass off.
Forget about live video of
auroras. The only way to see what an aurora looked like in real time before 2012 was to drive 3000 miles. Most of the world could only imagine from timelapses & artist renditions. Now everyone has seen an aurora in real time.
