Just before Valentine's Day, photographer clicks heart-shaped aurora in Norway
India Today
Norway's night sky glowed with a rare heart-shaped Aurora ahead of Valentine's Day and one lucky photographer was there to capture the moment.
On a quiet winter night in Norway, the sky briefly turned into a love letter. The northern lights, known for their unpredictable beauty, formed a glowing heart, a rare sight captured by photographer Kristoffer Vangen and now cherished by thousands online.
Just few days before Valentine’s Day, the Norwegian photographer managed to snap something that is nothing short of a cosmic rom-com: an aurora borealis formation shaped unmistakably like a heart.
Soft, radiant, and suspended in the night sky, the image looks almost too perfect to be real and that’s exactly why the internet couldn’t stop staring.
Vangen shared the photograph on Instagram on January 21, instantly setting timelines aglow. Alongside the snapshot, he penned a caption that revealed how long this moment had been in the making.
“I always wanted to capture the northern lights shaped as something,” he wrote, adding that over the years he had imagined seeing birds, tornadoes, even skull-like forms in the aurora. “It’s been close a few times, but I never felt the shape was clear enough. It just looked messy.”
Then, last Friday, the sky finally cooperated. “I finally got something! Perhaps a heart is a bit clich, but I’m not complaining,” he wrote, and neither was the internet.
