After watching this my first thought is that it looks throughout the film as if it's getting darker, almost like it's goin out. Is this just a period of high run spot activity?

The ones at the end are taken at night, hence why it's darker.

What I was curious about was if as predicted we were entering a solar maximum. If so wouldn't there be more solar flares enabling up down this far to see the aurora.
