S2E1: Canada’s Northern Lights and the Power of Plasma – on Toast
One of the world's leading aurora researchers, Dr. David Knudsen, takes us on a deep dive into Earth's magnetic field for a closer look at what University of Calgary's research is revealing about plasma and the currents that power Canada's Northern Lights. For aurora photographers and northern skywatchers this is pure brain food – essential knowledge of the invisible forces and energy sources behind every aurora photo you take – along with a recipe for toast that you've definitely never heard before.
