Best time of the year is in january when it's very cold -35-45 degrease c, just comes in waves over the night sky and you can hear it crackle.

@@ffffffelipe If you can get down to Tierra Del Fuego then you can probably see the aurora australis, which would be even more incredible because the southern high latitudes are even more remote than the northern. And with it you would have the constellations of the southern skies, a completely different experience.
So, is the normal colour green, up there? Or do you see red and other colours too? I've only seen the aurora when it was almost white, down in the South West corner of Canada
I lived at a small lake in Saskatchewan for 7 years, no light pollution at all, some of the skies i have seen, even seeing and knowing what the lights are i would have to sit in wonder as i gazed at it, i have two distinct memories where it was so intense it almost seemed other worldly, good memories to carry, once during a meteor shower the entire sky was filled with them, left me in awe.
I’ve seen it once in Wisconsin, I drove a few hours to Peninsula Park where there is no light pollution. It was a rare time when it was visible from my location. Amazing

It would also be good to get a globe and flashlight and do a demonstration of why it is dark in Tromso for six weeks in winter and light for six weeks in summer.
By the way, I'm from Norway, and I live in the central portion of the country - so well south of the ideal place to see northern lights - but sometimes they are visible. For 2-3 years my Portuguese girlfriend have wanted to see them, but it's been dark and cloudy every winter, every night - untill just a few weeks ago, I called her to come see bright, flashing green northern lights in the sky - and as fleeting and short-lasting as they might be, *she ran back inside the house* to start looking for her phone, to take photos, and... if you're not a northerner, you might think "oh, good idea!" but anyone who knows... :D it's _a waste of time_ - unless you have pro gear, your phone camera will not capture anything! I'm like "GET BACK HERE! D: YOU'RE MISSING IT!" she comes back, tries to film, hiding her actual eyes behind the phone, I'm like "PUT THE PHONE DOWN PLEASE! LOOK WITH YOUR EYES!!!"
I completely understand you!! I grew up in Alaska, and in the middle of the night my parents would rip us out of bed to see the lights! It was something so special
Actually it does, I often take pictures of the Aurora Borealis with my phone, I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 21 something ... and use the "Pro Camera" option on it to fix higher ISO and other settings ... I often sit at the entrance just looking up to the sky see the Aurora Borealis above me, I filmed once too trying to get the dancing motions of it ... but that was not very successfull.
It's like those tourists (especially Asians) that see their entire trip through the lens of a camera, not really experiencing what is right in front of them.
I live in Canada, we've had northern lights visible even within big city here through the light pollution for the past month, it's nice when you're driving around, usually you have to go to like the outskirts of a city or an area like a park without as much light pollution
So nice of you to show them the northern lights. It would have been nice if they would have seen more videos of the lights (there are so many more beautiful videos of the lights!) as well as an explanation to the phenomenon! I live in Northern Canada and see the lights very often. They can last for hours! It's unfortunate that they think that they last 60 seconds only.
@@jaredf6205 I feel the same, but also understand how that could happen. Look at the quality of the subtitles- far from perfect. So imagine yourself trying to find videos in a language that is not your own and then have to subtitle it in that language that you are not perfect at. I think they're doing great given that they're small-town people just doing their best. How many of us here in the comments could do the same thing? So instead of being critical, maybe we should be giving them good examples of videos to watch (and which ones not to watch).
All the better videos (those that actually show the lights and explain the phenomenon) are listed under their scientific name: Aurora Borealis. Scientific names don't translate all that well into any of our languages. Had they done a search on 'Aurora Borealis,' they might have had better luck.
The Northern Lights do go quite far South sometimes. I once saw them in Ireland - an especially rare treat because of how cloudy it usually is for us. Apparently in 1859 they were visible in Hawaii, and in 1921 they were seen in Samoa! They follow the 11-year solar flare cycle, so between 2023 and 2026 will be the best time to see them in the next decade.
Was that the “Carrington Event”? That was terrifying to learn about! One massive solar storm like that now and we could have our whole world turned upside down! So cool, though 🤓
Ooh, and thank you for reminding me about the solar cycle! I’ve got to get moved so I can get my ham radio antenna set up so I can make the most of the next cycle. The last stormy cycle my Grandad was able to transmit all the way to Australia (from Atlanta). I couldn’t believe it. A while later he called me saying that all of the trees that his antenna was in were dead. Just those trees. That’s when I realized how he reached Australia. He had been cranking his transmitter up all the way and literally nuked his trees! So… Stone Mountain, GA has very irradiated trees 🤣. Sorry for boring you with all of that, but thank you for reminding me of my Grandads nuked trees! Hope you are having a lovely day 🧡🙏🎃👻
They are actually easy to predict much like regular weather, you watch the sun for plasma filaments and/or solar flares ejecting plasma then it takes a day or three depending on the speed of the ejection and if we're lucky and its headed in our planet's direction and depending what time zone is currently having night time, you will see them.
I saw it once at home when I lived in a semi rural area in the middle of Sweden. It was faint but visible. Normally it doesn't go that far south but there must have been a solar storm going on to produce all those extra charged particles going our way.
This is the kind of content I really enjoy the most. When they learn important things about our planet, the space and world culture. This channel is the only opportunity they have to improve their knowledge. Their reaction was priceless.
The sad thing is they don't get the explanation about how these northern lights are formed. It would only take two minutes to explain it but the person who is running his channel systematically forget to do it, always showing the "what" but never the "how" or "why"... context is often more important than the result.
@@chucku00 you're absolutely right. I hope someday they show them. But what I meant was that these videos where they can learn something are way better than others.
@@NataliaVader1 Yep, but it would be so easy to give them a quick explanation so they could not only talk about what they saw, but also explain to other people what was the cause of what they saw, therefore making them way more credible around their community.
@@ItsNotMeItsYou007 These people don't have the same access to internet that you and me can have, even acessing to a library can be problematic for them. So your "maybe" is way more hypothetical than you might think.
I live in the northern state of Minnesota & the sun comes out every day, but we still get the Northern Lights some nights also. Greens & blues & oh so beautiful!!
They gift us more than they are gifted . It’s humbling. As for those who think their relationships and how they interact are somehow “ off “.. as a westerner I’ve seen the polar opposite. I love their chemistry.
Then maybe you can see it tonight ? I think it was reported that it might be a big aurora borealis tonight. 7 of 10 on the scale aparently. It is suppose to be visible through entire norway so it might as well be in Scotland too I think.
Babu misunderstood. The Northern lights can go on and off for hours. The guy was talking about one trip where it was cloudy, but for 60 seconds, the clouds opened up enough to see exceptionally bright lights.
@@jgw5491 i have lived in the north and i have seen the Lights so bright that you could hear them singing and flashing every colour of the rainbow. and me with NO form of camera. if you are not there making an ad for a tour company, but you live up there, you will have plenty of opportunities to take and post video. i am sure that someplace on the entire net there must be some vids of the coloured Lights.
@@kathysmith6413 I'm sure that you are right. I just was responding to this particular video from Norway. As the tour people said, they couldn't guarantee what would be seen that specific night. I'm not sure why the Common Man Show producers decided to use that particular video instead of a montage of more colorful clips. Perhaps they wanted the guys to see a slice of what people would experience going north for the experience.
Exactly! Actually send the villagers to Alaska (or where ever) so they could see the 'Lights in person and be awed by silence as well. We were stationed in Keflavik, Iceland when I was 10/11 years old and we saw them quite often. Now I li9ve in Duluth, MN and haven't seen them for several years--every time the weather service predicts great viewing conditions, we get nothing but clouds...same for meteor showers.
They need to learn about whales! They consistently seem to believe they are fish - but are also always astounded at what strange and peculiar fish they are; they are more astounding than they can even guess! They are whales!
Much much love from Northern Finland too! I love this channel a lot, these guys are all such great characters. :) It's true the dark winter days can take a toll on you. But of course we all love the Northern Lights. :)
There is a live cam site in Churchill Manitoba that I check on many nights for the Northern lights. They say that February and March are the best times, but there was a clear night a few weeks ago and I could watch them for a while. It is not the same as live viewing but it's still astoundingly beautiful.
You should tell them the Aurora happens in many other planets too. I'm not gonna get scientific. Their reactions are beautiful and exercises knowledge, which they earn and deserve. Loved the video!
You do? I live in central Sweden and i've only seen it once down here, but a few more times when i've went to northern Sweden. Weird that the Northern lights go as far down south as Poland when they rarely ever reach me who live alot more north then you
I live in northern Norway. I've seen this every winter, it's easy to forget some people have never seen them and some probably never will. It's easy to take it for granted.
It's amazing the things we take for granted are exotic to others. When I went to Vietnam I showed some winter pictures from home in Sweden and they said it was insane that we live here XD
Raeen loves images of nature. Could you show them videos about different countries National Parks? I think they would enjoy seeing the beauty around the world.
I think these lovely people would be fascinated to understand how (and why) long and short days and nights can be, in different countries at different times of the year...
The northern lights are very beautiful! Sometimes we catch a glimpse of them in Michigan's upper peninsula! Sidebar: glad to see a video today! We miss your daily uploads of these amazing men!
In Alaska, USA we see them most all nights as long as its dark. We also get purple, green and occasionally others that aren't as likely. They are beautiful and I feel blessed to have lived with this sight. 🤗
Love this video. I live in Alaska where this phenomenon is so common I forget how amazing the Northern Lights must be to others who have never heard about them. Thank you. ❤️
A map to give these gentlemen a reference, or a globe so they see how far north this spot is would be so helpful to give them a reference. And a short explanation of how this phenomenon occurs would make it even more wonderful. To think these are charged particles coming from the sun, and are moving through the magnetic field of the Earth is even more awe inspiring. Also, letting them know why in this part of the world, the winters are so dark - and the summers are so light-filled.
Caught then in northern WI once s when I was a kid... didn't even know they existed (pre-internet).. I was torn between excited & afraid.. was so beautiful. I can still replay it 40 yrs later in my mind
Loved your song and drum playing Uncle Babu! As I love it at the end of every video you do. I have been lucky enough to see the Northern Lights with my own eyes and yes they are everything you thought they would be! Great reaction to these lights by all four of you!
Hey Producer, ( I forgot your name❤) Thank you for showing science, fun, cool things, and the world to MY favorite family from 🇮🇳! You're right up my street!😘❤❤❤❤❤
I saw them in Michigan during the winter many years ago. It isn't often they are seen as far south as the Detroit metro area, but they were out and doing a beautiful green dance. Awesome!
There are you tube channels that show the Northern Lights during the winter. I love watching the lights dancing across the sky, sometimes they are fast and sometimes slow. Sometimes they are green and yellow and sometimes they are green, purple, pink, red, and yellow. They never fail to put on a very beautiful and amazing show.
I'm from Northern parts of greenland, where northern lights dance through the skies. Winter is my favorite season because of Northern lights 🌌 it's so wholesome too see their reactions

I live in southern Finland so we rarely get strong Northern Lights but I do remember two great occasions. First was all green lights but super strong. I turned down all the lights in our house (and no other houses within half kilometer), climbed to roof of my house and laid there for two hours or so. Also the orintation of Earth was such that the matter from the Sun came somewhat directly above, thus there was a black disc above our house and the Aurora poured over the edges. Second was multicolor (mainly green and pink with hints of red and blue). It was not so strong but colours were spectacular. I was at work but luckily I had some time so I drove to location with less lights and watched them for half an hour.
I was fortunate to see the northern lights once about 57 years ago in Niskayuns, NY during pleasant weather. The displays are extremely rare down here, almost nonexistent, and back then, the news did not tell you a potential display was predicted. I lucked out, stepping out the back door and seeing a glorious display in green and yellow filiing the sky, moving, twisting, growing, diminishing, and resuming that unbelievable display continuously. I have no idea how long the display had already gone on, but it went on for hours after I stepped out the door. It was glorious, and I will never forget it. I just stood, unmoving, by myself, and was lost in what I was seeing. It was still going on when I finally, reluctently, went back inside. I wish I would be blessed a second time experiencing such a sight, but most people never see such a thing even once. And yes, I am serious that it just kept on going. Diane, using Joe's tablet.
I lived in Fairbanks, Alaska for 19 years and we would stand outside at -60 degrees for 30 minutes to an hour to watch the Northern Lights. They NEVER get old. I loved to watch them dance. They are usually green with hints of yellow but now and then parts would be pink and purple. I do miss them living in the lower 48 now.
The Aurora is truly a magnificent gift to behold. I would wish these fellas were taken to see it in person. They would be so amazed. There is simply no substitute to seeing the lights above your head.
Is there no program on the VR that lets you experience the glory of the northern lights? If not we will just have to organize a trip 😊 Also can Akbar try out the VR ? To look round other places in the world like Babu, Raeen and Sarru did? Though I am pretty sure they would all like to have another go with it too 😊😊💖
@@Delphinia310 and @Manosh Majumdarno they aren't different colours depending on location. The colour depends on what gasses are reacting in the atmosphere at the time.
I'm from Norway, and it makes me so happy seeing their reactions to it. The aurora borealis is really a beautiful thing. I hope maybe one day they will get the chance to see it with their own eyes.
Lacking of information, they're very wise about life as it is lived in their village. Babu and Raeen seems very experienced in personal and social relationships.
I was in awe of the reaction of the older gentleman in particular: the look of surprise and wonder, his inability to contain the excitement and the need to clap, the hint of confusion in his eyes. I wish we could always react this way at something new and unexpected, rather than with fear and violence.
A friend of my family, an indigenous Alaskan, told a story about a day he came up to his uncle and asked what he was doing sitting out in the cold of winter away from his village looking up in the sky. His uncle said, "shh. God is painting."
This is so great. I live where you can see the northern lights sometimes. We had a great show of northern lights a week or so ago. It's still dark when I go to work in the morning, and I was blessed with seeing northern lights on my walk to work. Every time I see them I'm still amazed.
I live in New Zealand and the night sky observatory is 2 hours away from my house and we get the "Southern lights" there. I'm so glad these men get to learn and witness this, even if on a screen. It's truly beautiful and I'm extremely grateful to be able to see it whenever I want (weather, season, etc permitted)
Happy!! When I see these people, being honest and curious and speaking from their heart...that's what internet should have been. I feel like I want to invite all of them for tea and talk about the world. Imagine what I would learn. These people should be commended for their humanity. I seriously would like to meet them and just talk.
I live in Northern Sweden and get to see these lights. You definitely stop whatever you're doing and just enjoy the moment. Some lights have purple in them too.
I take for granted that even if I've not gone to a place I've been taught about it and I've seen these beautiful gifts we have on earth either in person or on video. I forget that alot of people have never even been taught about it so they won't be looking up it online if they even have internet. Watching these videos touch my heart with sooo much love these guys are truly special and seem to be more loving than the people I see everyday also they seem to appreciate everything God has put here for us to witness and to LOVE.i find we think that we are teaching them but imo they are TEACHING ME how to love and enjoy life..thank you can't describe how blessed I feel to have you touch my heart as u have ..god bless u all
Nature is magical. I have never seen the northern lights with my own eyes either but I have seen some remarkable videos of them. I loved their reaction to this.
The aurora borealis is just gorgeous sight to see. The Inuit, Laplanders, other 1st nation tribes, Nordic peoples have legends of the aurora borealis otherwise known as northern lights.
I was lucky enough to see the northern lights three times in my life from southern New York (about 76 degrees latitude). Twice as a child and once in my 20’s. The first time I saw them, my family was just arriving back in town on the drive back from Florida. As we crested the large hill to descend into town, the sky suddenly burst with color. I always remember it a “welcome home” from nature! The aurora in my 20’s was predominantly red. Very unusual and beautiful!
I of course have heard of the Northern Lights, but only seen it on television. Its truly a awesome phenomenon that nature produces. I enjoyed watching it again. These Villagers were totally blown away seeing this for the first time. Specially Babu.
I'm wondering if we could at some point get a video about these amazing people's favourite thigns from their own life & world? Their favourite natural events and occurances. Their favourite customns, music and traditions. Their favourite foods. They are bringing so much joy and wonder back into this world and how they can share their amazement at the world with us is truly beautiful. I'd love to see some of the things that are close to their hearts as well. They educate themselves on so many things from around the world so I'd love to see them educate us on some things beyond our horizon of understanding as well. Greetings from Central Europe
That old man with the white turban reaction is just priceless. I hope he gets a chance to visit there before his time runs out. Everyone was just amazing. Best wishes. Assalaamu Alaykum (peace be with you).
Central Canada here. The northern lights were amazingly strong and bright just the other week! Everyone was talking about them on social media the next day lol
There are so many natural wonders that I wish to see with my own eyes someday but when I watch these videos I want nothing more than to sit with Babu, Raeen and Sarru and listen to all their advice and perspectives of the world. I don't think there's any people more genuine and good than them. I feel like a better person after hearing from Babu.
You need to explain that countries close to the Arctic Circle experience this phenomenon (USA, Canada, Iceland, Norway, Finland, Greenland [DK] other Northern European countries) Antarctica also has the Aurora Borealis
In the Southern Hemisphere, it's the aurora *australis.* ("Boreal" means "northern", "austral" means "southern", and that's where the name of Australia comes from = the southern land.) Unfortunately, the Southern Hemisphere does not have inhabited lands at the high latitudes where auroras are usually seen, and only on very rare occasions auroras can be seen in the southernmost parts of New Zealand, Argentina or Chile, which are scarcely populated areas. For this reason, very few people ever get to see the aurora australis.
Spent a summer in Labrador and was lying on the front lawn each night watching the amazing Northern Lights. Did not have to wait for winter! Also amazing ones in Northern Alberta (in winter).
I just adore these guys. I live in the UK and we sometimes, way up north in Scotland, get the aurora lights, but nowhere near as regular as other more northern parts of Europe and only ever in Scotland or once in a blue moon, the very far north of England, so I know well what the aurora is and how it is formed, but to watch them through these guy's eyes, almost child like in their awe and wonder, was like finding out about the aurora anew! I got so much joy from this video. Brother Babu was correct when he said, nobody can match the beauty and wonder of nature. Another great video guys, please keep them coming! 🙏🏾
I lived in Fairbanks Alaska for several years. Always grabbed a drink and went out about 10-15 miles from town on the snowmobiles, make camp and watched therm.
It’s really strange for people like me, because I never thought about how other people don’t see northern lights, I live in Norway and it’s actually normal for me, but I admit, it’s the most magical thing I’ve I ever seen! 🥰
I live in the most northern parts of Sweden, have a cabin in the midle of the mountains(no light polution) and sometimes the Northern light gets absolutly amazing.

I live in Ohio and it was possible to see them last week but there was too much cloud cover and they were weaker than expected.
And, as I would have expected, Raeen is the only one who asked (and almost immediately!) what exactly they were looking at.
I live in Canada, we've had northern lights visible even within big city here through the light pollution for the past month, it's nice when you're driving around, usually you have to go to like the outskirts of a city or an area like a park without as much light pollution
Sounds wonderful. Hopefully I will get to visit Canada one day :)

So imagine yourself trying to find videos in a language that is not your own and then have to subtitle it in that language that you are not perfect at. I think they're doing great given that they're small-town people just doing their best. How many of us here in the comments could do the same thing?
So instead of being critical, maybe we should be giving them good examples of videos to watch (and which ones not to watch).
All the better videos (those that actually show the lights and explain the phenomenon) are listed under their scientific name: Aurora Borealis. Scientific names don't translate all that well into any of our languages. Had they done a search on 'Aurora Borealis,' they might have had better luck.
The Northern Lights do go quite far South sometimes. I once saw them in Ireland - an especially rare treat because of how cloudy it usually is for us. Apparently in 1859 they were visible in Hawaii, and in 1921 they were seen in Samoa!
They follow the 11-year solar flare cycle, so between 2023 and 2026 will be the best time to see them in the next decade.
Was that the “Carrington Event”? That was terrifying to learn about! One massive solar storm like that now and we could have our whole world turned upside down! So cool, though 🤓
Ooh, and thank you for reminding me about the solar cycle! I’ve got to get moved so I can get my ham radio antenna set up so I can make the most of the next cycle. The last stormy cycle my Grandad was able to transmit all the way to Australia (from Atlanta). I couldn’t believe it. A while later he called me saying that all of the trees that his antenna was in were dead. Just those trees. That’s when I realized how he reached Australia. He had been cranking his transmitter up all the way and literally nuked his trees! So… Stone Mountain, GA has very irradiated trees 🤣. Sorry for boring you with all of that, but thank you for reminding me of my Grandads nuked trees! Hope you are having a lovely day 🧡🙏🎃👻
They are actually easy to predict much like regular weather, you watch the sun for plasma filaments and/or solar flares ejecting plasma then it takes a day or three depending on the speed of the ejection and if we're lucky and its headed in our planet's direction and depending what time zone is currently having night time, you will see them.
Hopefully they make it as far south as Babu.
I saw it once at home when I lived in a semi rural area in the middle of Sweden. It was faint but visible. Normally it doesn't go that far south but there must have been a solar storm going on to produce all those extra charged particles going our way.
This is the kind of content I really enjoy the most. When they learn important things about our planet, the space and world culture. This channel is the only opportunity they have to improve their knowledge. Their reaction was priceless.
The sad thing is they don't get the explanation about how these northern lights are formed. It would only take two minutes to explain it but the person who is running his channel systematically forget to do it, always showing the "what" but never the "how" or "why"... context is often more important than the result.
@@chucku00 you're absolutely right. I hope someday they show them. But what I meant was that these videos where they can learn something are way
better than others.
@@NataliaVader1 Yep, but it would be so easy to give them a quick explanation so they could not only talk about what they saw, but also explain to other people what was the cause of what they saw, therefore making them way more credible around their community.
@@chucku00 Everything is a start. Maybe they can look things up later if they really want to know.
@@ItsNotMeItsYou007 These people don't have the same access to internet that you and me can have, even acessing to a library can be problematic for them. So your "maybe" is way more hypothetical than you might think.
I live in the northern state of Minnesota & the sun comes out every day, but we still get the Northern Lights some nights also. Greens & blues & oh so beautiful!!
Bluest is the lowest and rarest you should be lucky
Such a cool idea. Their wonder for the world never ceases to put a smile on my face. ❤️
They gift us more than they are gifted . It’s humbling.
As for those who think their relationships and how they interact are somehow “ off “.. as a westerner I’ve seen the polar opposite. I love their chemistry.
Though not as often as norway, Scotland has the pleasure of seeing the lights from time to time also in winter.
I even saw them once during my childhood in Ireland, I think some time in the 1990s.
Then maybe you can see it tonight ? I think it was reported that it might be a big aurora borealis tonight. 7 of 10 on the scale aparently.
It is suppose to be visible through entire norway so it might as well be in Scotland too I think.
@@arcticblue248 nah sadly it’s currently pissing with rain for the whole weekend haha will try to get see it on a clear winters night
Babu misunderstood. The Northern lights can go on and off for hours. The guy was talking about one trip where it was cloudy, but for 60 seconds, the clouds opened up enough to see exceptionally bright lights.
you need to find videos that show more colour than just green. the northern lights come in many colours and sometimes kind of resemble a rainbow.
I did see some rose peeking through the green. I guess we take what nature gives us to film at any given time.
@@jgw5491 i have lived in the north and i have seen the Lights so bright that you could hear them singing and flashing every colour of the rainbow. and me with NO form of camera.
if you are not there making an ad for a tour company, but you live up there, you will have plenty of opportunities to take and post video. i am sure that someplace on the entire net there must be some vids of the coloured Lights.
@@kathysmith6413 I'm sure that you are right. I just was responding to this particular video from Norway. As the tour people said, they couldn't guarantee what would be seen that specific night. I'm not sure why the Common Man Show producers decided to use that particular video instead of a montage of more colorful clips. Perhaps they wanted the guys to see a slice of what people would experience going north for the experience.
@@jgw5491 maybe you are correct in why they used that clip. maybe that clip was just the easiest way to go.
@@kathysmith6413 the aurora can usually only be green, pink purple or red, and it doesn't make any noise, that's a myth. Still though
I used to work at a restaurant in New Hampshire , it was called the Common Man
There are also the Southern Lights, Aurora Australis. Sometimes seen in the south of New Zealand.
Wish you guys could come to Alaska, United States to see our Northern Lights! They ripple across the sky every night!
Exactly! Actually send the villagers to Alaska (or where ever) so they could see the 'Lights in person and be awed by silence as well. We were stationed in Keflavik, Iceland when I was 10/11 years old and we saw them quite often. Now I li9ve in Duluth, MN and haven't seen them for several years--every time the weather service predicts great viewing conditions, we get nothing but clouds...same for meteor showers.
Saw them when I was stationed at Eielson AFB, Alaska! We would gear up in our winter clothes and take our thermos of coffee and sit there awestruck!
Norway and Alaska are on the same latitude, so it is basically the same
They need to learn about whales! They consistently seem to believe they are fish - but are also always astounded at what strange and peculiar fish they are; they are more astounding than they can even guess! They are whales!
yes!!!!
yes please! they need to learn about whales, sharks and dolphins
Agreed.
😔
They seems to be from desert state of India called Rajasthan they prolly never Saw Sea in their life .
Much much love from Northern Finland too! I love this channel a lot, these guys are all such great characters. :)
It's true the dark winter days can take a toll on you. But of course we all love the Northern Lights. :)
I was lucky enough to see it like that, covering the whole Northern half of the sky back in the 70s here in Sault Ste Marie ON.
There is a live cam site in Churchill Manitoba that I check on many nights for the Northern lights. They say that February and March are the best times, but there was a clear night a few weeks ago and I could watch them for a while. It is not the same as live viewing but it's still astoundingly beautiful.
You should tell them the Aurora happens in many other planets too. I'm not gonna get scientific. Their reactions are beautiful and exercises knowledge, which they earn and deserve. Loved the video!
There are scientific videos showing pictures of other planets with them yes, I have seen some.
"Exercises in knowledge, which they earn and deserve." Thanks for the meaningless word salad.
I live in Gdansk (northern Poland) and we get aurora borealis sometimes too.
You do? I live in central Sweden and i've only seen it once down here, but a few more times when i've went to northern Sweden. Weird that the Northern lights go as far down south as Poland when they rarely ever reach me who live alot more north then you
What an amazing experience to behold, these northern lights. Absolutely stunning.
I live in northern Norway. I've seen this every winter, it's easy to forget some people have never seen them and some probably never will. It's easy to take it for granted.
It's amazing the things we take for granted are exotic to others. When I went to Vietnam I showed some winter pictures from home in Sweden and they said it was insane that we live here XD
Raeen loves images of nature. Could you show them videos about different countries National Parks? I think they would enjoy seeing the beauty around the world.
I lived in Minnesota and saw the Northern lights many many times spectacular!
Well, now we have a new place we need to send Babu to 💚💙💚
I would love so see a tour of their homes and villages..and maybe a 'day in the life' showing us what their daily routines are like?
I think these lovely people would be fascinated to understand how (and why) long and short days and nights can be, in different countries at different times of the year...
The northern lights are very beautiful! Sometimes we catch a glimpse of them in Michigan's upper peninsula! Sidebar: glad to see a video today! We miss your daily uploads of these amazing men!
In Alaska, USA we see them most all nights as long as its dark. We also get purple, green and occasionally others that aren't as likely. They are beautiful and I feel blessed to have lived with this sight. 🤗
Love this video. I live in Alaska where this phenomenon is so common I forget how amazing the Northern Lights must be to others who have never heard about them. Thank you. ❤️
A map to give these gentlemen a reference, or a globe so they see how far north this spot is would be so helpful to give them a reference. And a short explanation of how this phenomenon occurs would make it even more wonderful. To think these are charged particles coming from the sun, and are moving through the magnetic field of the Earth is even more awe inspiring. Also, letting them know why in this part of the world, the winters are so dark - and the summers are so light-filled.
Everything is fresh through their eyes and makes us all realise true value of it all
I was in Alaska for 5 years and I only saw them once. Quite awe inspiring.
Caught then in northern WI once s when I was a kid... didn't even know they existed (pre-internet).. I was torn between excited & afraid.. was so beautiful. I can still replay it 40 yrs later in my mind
Loved your song and drum playing Uncle Babu! As I love it at the end of every video you do. I have been lucky enough to see the Northern Lights with my own eyes and yes they are everything you thought they would be! Great reaction to these lights by all four of you!
It's lovely to see their reaction. My hometown is indeed beautiful.
Hey Producer, ( I forgot your name❤) Thank you for showing science, fun, cool things, and the world to MY favorite family from 🇮🇳! You're right up my street!😘❤❤❤❤❤
I saw them in Michigan during the winter many years ago. It isn't often they are seen as far south as the Detroit metro area, but they were out and doing a beautiful green dance. Awesome!
There are you tube channels that show the Northern Lights during the winter. I love watching the lights dancing across the sky, sometimes they are fast and sometimes slow. Sometimes they are green and yellow and sometimes they are green, purple, pink, red, and yellow. They never fail to put on a very beautiful and amazing show.
I once saw the Southern Lights when out on the west coast surfing (South Australia), it took us a long time to realise what we were seeing.
I'm from Northern parts of greenland, where northern lights dance through the skies. Winter is my favorite season because of Northern lights 🌌 it's so wholesome too see their reactions
My Twin Sister & were brought up to the Canadian Arctic Communities, by our Grandmother who Nursed in Northern Communities FOR THE CANADIAN GOVNT/ when we were Young.. We Grew up with the Northern Lights almost every Clear Winter Night... FOR, Hours, THEY WAVED ACROSS Our Skies,,, The WONDERMENT of Them, Enhanced Our Love of Nature & Our Love of Humanity !! ~~~ It, is WONDERFUL TO SEE THAT YOU HAVE BEEN ABLE TO ENJOY THEM, SEE A SMALL PART OF THEM THRU THIS VIDEO !! ~~ BLESSINGS !! TO YOU, ALL !!, YOUR FAMILIES & TO ALL CREATURES THAT SHARE THIS MOTHER EARTH., HER LIFE FORMS,, SEAS, RIVERS, MOUNTAINS & SKIES,WHERE EVER WE ARE !! ( Nah-hawn-nee )
I had such a huge smile on my face when they were clapping nature for giving us such beautiful sights, love these guys!
I live in southern Finland so we rarely get strong Northern Lights but I do remember two great occasions.
First was all green lights but super strong. I turned down all the lights in our house (and no other houses within half kilometer), climbed to roof of my house and laid there for two hours or so. Also the orintation of Earth was such that the matter from the Sun came somewhat directly above, thus there was a black disc above our house and the Aurora poured over the edges.
Second was multicolor (mainly green and pink with hints of red and blue). It was not so strong but colours were spectacular. I was at work but luckily I had some time so I drove to location with less lights and watched them for half an hour.
As a Norwegian; This is quite impressive if you havnt seen it before at all.
I was fortunate to see the northern lights once about 57 years ago in Niskayuns, NY during pleasant weather. The displays are extremely rare down here, almost nonexistent, and back then, the news did not tell you a potential display was predicted. I lucked out, stepping out the back door and seeing a glorious display in green and yellow filiing the sky, moving, twisting, growing, diminishing, and resuming that unbelievable display continuously. I have no idea how long the display had already gone on, but it went on for hours after I stepped out the door. It was glorious, and I will never forget it. I just stood, unmoving, by myself, and was lost in what I was seeing. It was still going on when I finally, reluctently, went back inside. I wish I would be blessed a second time experiencing such a sight, but most people never see such a thing even once. And yes, I am serious that it just kept on going. Diane, using Joe's tablet.
I lived in Fairbanks, Alaska for 19 years and we would stand outside at -60 degrees for 30 minutes to an hour to watch the Northern Lights. They NEVER get old. I loved to watch them dance. They are usually green with hints of yellow but now and then parts would be pink and purple. I do miss them living in the lower 48 now.
When he said "what a big ship" my first thought was....TEACH THEM ABOUT THE TITANIC!!!!!!!!!!
Am I the only one who wishes Babu would adopt me as a grandchild?
The Aurora is truly a magnificent gift to behold. I would wish these fellas were taken to see it in person. They would be so amazed. There is simply no substitute to seeing the lights above your head.
Love to see their faces. When someone explains the southern lights. An what causes both.
Is there no program on the VR that lets you experience the glory of the northern lights?
If not we will just have to organize a trip 😊
Also can Akbar try out the VR ? To look round other places in the world like Babu, Raeen and Sarru did? Though I am pretty sure they would all like to have another go with it too 😊😊💖
Please show them the Aura Borealis frim Alaska, they would be in awe.
They are the same things.
@@manashmajumdar3550 Oh I didn't know that! They do have different colors though.
@@Delphinia310 The colours can be differ depending on the attitude.
It's exactly the same ones happening in Alaska as in Norway. Come on now. 🤦♀️
@@Delphinia310 and @Manosh Majumdarno they aren't different colours depending on location. The colour depends on what gasses are reacting in the atmosphere at the time.
I'm from Norway, and it makes me so happy seeing their reactions to it. The aurora borealis is really a beautiful thing. I hope maybe one day they will get the chance to see it with their own eyes.
i really appreciate how babu's stutter completely vanishes when he sings. music is a powerful thing.
It's not just Norway, it's all over Northern Latitudes. I've seen them around the Great Lakes.
It always amazes me how little they know of the world. They're so innocent
Lacking of information, they're very wise about life as it is lived in their village. Babu and Raeen seems very experienced in personal and social relationships.
I was in awe of the reaction of the older gentleman in particular: the look of surprise and wonder, his inability to contain the excitement and the need to clap, the hint of confusion in his eyes. I wish we could always react this way at something new and unexpected, rather than with fear and violence.
And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.
A friend of my family, an indigenous Alaskan, told a story about a day he came up to his uncle and asked what he was doing sitting out in the cold of winter away from his village looking up in the sky. His uncle said, "shh. God is painting."
This is so great. I live where you can see the northern lights sometimes. We had a great show of northern lights a week or so ago. It's still dark when I go to work in the morning, and I was blessed with seeing northern lights on my walk to work. Every time I see them I'm still amazed.
I live in New Zealand and the night sky observatory is 2 hours away from my house and we get the "Southern lights" there.
I'm so glad these men get to learn and witness this, even if on a screen. It's truly beautiful and I'm extremely grateful to be able to see it whenever I want (weather, season, etc permitted)
Happy!! When I see these people, being honest and curious and speaking from their heart...that's what internet should have been. I feel like I want to invite all of them for tea and talk about the world. Imagine what I would learn. These people should be commended for their humanity. I seriously would like to meet them and just talk.
I live in Northern Sweden and get to see these lights. You definitely stop whatever you're doing and just enjoy the moment.
Some lights have purple in them too.
To experience these things for the first time with such innocence, it is a wonderful thing to see such genuine people explore this wonderful world 😎
I take for granted that even if I've not gone to a place I've been taught about it and I've seen these beautiful gifts we have on earth either in person or on video. I forget that alot of people have never even been taught about it so they won't be looking up it online if they even have internet. Watching these videos touch my heart with sooo much love these guys are truly special and seem to be more loving than the people I see everyday also they seem to appreciate everything God has put here for us to witness and to LOVE.i find we think that we are teaching them but imo they are TEACHING ME how to love and enjoy life..thank you can't describe how blessed I feel to have you touch my heart as u have ..god bless u all
So glad they could see this incredible spectacle. Very few things beat experiencing it. It even feels like it has a sound associated with it.
Nature is magical. I have never seen the northern lights with my own eyes either but I have seen some remarkable videos of them. I loved their reaction to this.
The aurora borealis is just gorgeous sight to see. The Inuit, Laplanders, other 1st nation tribes, Nordic peoples have legends of the aurora borealis otherwise known as northern lights.
Such nice and gentle people
It’s good to see Babu is back. He is a wise gentleman and makes me miss my own grandfather. Live long and prosper guys; Namaste. 👍🏻😁
I was lucky enough to see the northern lights three times in my life from southern New York (about 76 degrees latitude). Twice as a child and once in my 20’s. The first time I saw them, my family was just arriving back in town on the drive back from Florida. As we crested the large hill to descend into town, the sky suddenly burst with color. I always remember it a “welcome home” from nature! The aurora in my 20’s was predominantly red. Very unusual and beautiful!
So gracious and humble 🙏🏾 love from the US!
I of course have heard of the Northern Lights, but only seen it on television. Its truly a awesome phenomenon that nature produces. I enjoyed watching it again. These Villagers were totally blown away seeing this for the first time. Specially Babu.
Lived in Anchorage for many years. The Aurora looked like waves moving across the sky in every color.
I'm wondering if we could at some point get a video about these amazing people's favourite thigns from their own life & world? Their favourite natural events and occurances. Their favourite customns, music and traditions. Their favourite foods. They are bringing so much joy and wonder back into this world and how they can share their amazement at the world with us is truly beautiful. I'd love to see some of the things that are close to their hearts as well. They educate themselves on so many things from around the world so I'd love to see them educate us on some things beyond our horizon of understanding as well. Greetings from Central Europe
That old man with the white turban reaction is just priceless. I hope he gets a chance to visit there before his time runs out. Everyone was just amazing. Best wishes.
Assalaamu Alaykum (peace be with you).
Central Canada here. The northern lights were amazingly strong and bright just the other week! Everyone was talking about them on social media the next day lol
these men's outlook is so inspiring
There are so many natural wonders that I wish to see with my own eyes someday but when I watch these videos I want nothing more than to sit with Babu, Raeen and Sarru and listen to all their advice and perspectives of the world. I don't think there's any people more genuine and good than them. I feel like a better person after hearing from Babu.
You are true wonderful gentlemen. Please stay safe and live long and wonderful lives. Much love from Denmark 🇩🇰
Thank you. Best wishes from Norway 🇳🇴
The old man is so adorable! 😂❤️ when he geta so surprised it melta me😂
You need to explain that countries close to the Arctic Circle experience this phenomenon (USA, Canada, Iceland, Norway, Finland, Greenland [DK] other Northern European countries) Antarctica also has the Aurora Borealis
In the Southern Hemisphere, it's the aurora *australis.* ("Boreal" means "northern", "austral" means "southern", and that's where the name of Australia comes from = the southern land.) Unfortunately, the Southern Hemisphere does not have inhabited lands at the high latitudes where auroras are usually seen, and only on very rare occasions auroras can be seen in the southernmost parts of New Zealand, Argentina or Chile, which are scarcely populated areas. For this reason, very few people ever get to see the aurora australis.
@@goytabr true, I forgot to mention the other southern hemisphere auroras. 👍
Spent a summer in Labrador and was lying on the front lawn each night watching the amazing Northern Lights. Did not have to wait for winter! Also amazing ones in Northern Alberta (in winter).
I live in North Pole, Alaska since 2006 and the lights still get me stopping to watch them dance
I just adore these guys. I live in the UK and we sometimes, way up north in Scotland, get the aurora lights, but nowhere near as regular as other more northern parts of Europe and only ever in Scotland or once in a blue moon, the very far north of England, so I know well what the aurora is and how it is formed, but to watch them through these guy's eyes, almost child like in their awe and wonder, was like finding out about the aurora anew! I got so much joy from this video. Brother Babu was correct when he said, nobody can match the beauty and wonder of nature. Another great video guys, please keep them coming! 🙏🏾
Wow what a gem to find something like this that they have never seen. Fantastic video.
I lived in Fairbanks Alaska for several years. Always grabbed a drink and went out about 10-15 miles from town on the snowmobiles, make camp and watched therm.
Reading another comment I realized its a pure open sense of awe and wonder that is such a treasure in an otherwise jaded world
It’s really strange for people like me, because I never thought about how other people don’t see northern lights, I live in Norway and it’s actually normal for me, but I admit, it’s the most magical thing I’ve I ever seen! 🥰
I was so happy that you where showing a video from my home Tromsø. Hope you liked the Nothern light as I do
