What is really cool about it is, at first glance you would say "oh, the wind much be blowing and swirling". And then you remember that this is all caused by electro-mechanical and magnetic forces, so that movement is caused by something that we, as humans, really can't feel at all.

Auroras also occur on other planets. Here is a pic of Saturn with an aurora at the poles

Wow, I love that video. Neat pic of Saturn too, I've never seen that before and didn't know other planets have Auroras.
