What happens when you go in the aurora?

I was looking at some information on Antarctica and it's really cool seeing a lot of what the scientists recommend and what the treaties say about that continent. Even cruise ship policies (what few ships are permitted there) basically revolve around "if we don't tell you you can do it, don't do it." Looking at it, it's like humanity's saying "okay, we fucked up the other six continents, but we haven't completely screwed this one over one yet. Let's keep it that way." It's really... endearing.

"that aura is due to whole in polar ends"

And thus the English language keeled over and died.

I might consider believing you when you learn basic spelling and grammar.

I started this video (haven't even finished watching it) and I saw stars and I immediately predicted that the comments would be full of moon landing hoax assholes going "OMGOMGOMGOMG! LOOK AT TEH STARS! UR ALL SHEEPLE! LOL 9/11 TRUTH TOO!" etc. So I scrolled down and....

Lo and behold! I SEE IGNORANT PEOPLE! :O

OK, I finished the video, it was pretty awesome. One thing I noticed is that they mentioned they had the exposure on the camera adjusted. If the camera was set to be more sensitive to light when these videos were made, it stands to reason stars would be visible.

But hey, I don't know anything, because I'm just a brainwashed New World Order slave. Hail to the Reptilian Brotherhood! ;)

Thanks for the response, i do understand what LunarTuner and yourself are saying, it does seem to make sense but on the other hand i somehow still don't feel convinced, please don't take offense.

Have a look at this video > "Earth seen from Apollo 11" when the earth is zoomed out it is so small that one would imagine you would, wether the camera is focused on the earth or not, one would see stars, at least on the periphery of the focus area. Maybe I'm wrong but it does seem a bit odd!
