(Image credit: Matt Melnyk) Last week, skywatchers across North America were treated to an extraordinary northern lights display, but airline pilot and photographer Matt Melnyk may have had the best view of all.Cruising at 36,000 feet (11 km) during a flight from London to Calgary, Melnyk photographed the vivid aurora show on Nov. 12 from the cockpit of a Boeing 787 Dreamliner."It was a pretty special night, that's for sure!" Melnyk told Space.com in an email.

"This time of the year, I get to see aurora 90% of the time on my flights across Europe," Melynk said. "But this particular flight was special because a severe solar storm was in progress."Matt MelnykPilot & photographerMatt Melnyk is an airline pilot and avid aurora chaser who regularly enjoys northern lights shows while cruising at 36,000 feet.Image 1 of 3Northern lights captured from 36,000 feet.

Earth's atmosphere is visible in the distance.(Image credit: Matt Melnyk)On Nov. 11-12, a severe (G4) geomagnetic storm lit up skies across the northern hemisphere with vibrant auroras sweeping over Canada, the U.S. and even as far south as Mexico. The dazzling display followed the arrival of multiple coronal mass ejections (CMEs) — bursts of magnetic field and plasma from the sun — launched by sunspot AR4274, one of the most energetic sunspot groups of the current solar cycle."It's rare to be flying at the exact time a major solar storm is happening, so I consider myself extremely lucky to be able to witness this event," Melnyk told Space.com.To capture the scene, Melnyk used a Canon R6 Mark II paired with a Canon RF 20mm F1.4 L VCM lens.Get the Space.com NewsletterBreaking space news, the latest updates on rocket launches, skywatching events and more!Contact me with news and offers from other Future brandsReceive email from us on behalf of our trusted partners or sponsorsImage 1 of 3Northern lights captured from 36,000 feet.

The combination of a fast lens and a high-performing low-light camera makes it very simple."
