Gradient Type
Flowing bands of color that drift and shift like the aurora borealis. Organic. Atmospheric. Alive.

Organic Movement
Aurora isn't a static gradient with pretty colors. The bands flow horizontally, rise and fall, blend into each other with organic turbulence.
Set the flow speed from gentle drift to active streaming. Add turbulence for organic variation in the movement. Let the bands shift vertically so colors rise and fall like curtains of light.

Not a photo. Not a filter. A living, breathing aurora that flows and shifts the way the real thing does.

Natural Motion
The aurora drifts because that is what auroras do. No keyframes. No looping. Just organic, endless motion.
