Roberto Brasero changed the decor with a simple stroke of his pen and surprised everyone And now Sonsoles connecting not from the setting, but from the near-total darkness of the Arctic Circle, moved to this northern latitude for the purpose of witnessing one of the most spectacular natural phenomena in the northern hemisphere, the northern lights.
Speaking with Sonsoles Ónega, the “meteorologist” explained the difficulties inherent in broadcasting this type of light events in real time, as beautiful as it is elusive: “It was visible just a moment ago, but it’s gone. The auroras come and go with the solar wind.”
Despite the darkness, Brasero moved with ease in the snow, abundant and crunchy under his boots. Enthusiastic, he allowed himself to play with the white coatabundant to the point of excess, using it as an explanatory resource: “What we don’t lack is the snow. The one that José Domingo, the deputy director, lacked, and the one that they are going to have in the peaks of the Canary Islands with the storm Emilia, but perhaps it will not be as powdery as this one.”
Brasero also spoke of one of the most striking particularities of these latitudes: the absence of sun. Even though there are certain times when the sky clears slightly, the star does not appear. “Here we are always at the top. It’s like when dawn breaks in Spain and before sunrise the weather is clear,” he noted.
Just when the show seemed doomed to go on without its celestial protagonist, heaven granted a truce. Right after his words, Brasero reacted happily. “There is one!” He exclaimed upon detecting her. The camera was barely able to capture a faint greenish flash in the darkness, insufficient to appreciate it clearly. For this reason, the program chose to broadcast a video previously recorded by the communicator, in which the aurora was seen more clearly.
