Interesting Encounter enroute from EGLL to SFO

While enroute from EGLL to SFO flying the 744 I encountered the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) just a little west of Scotland. I was not aware that Microsoft had actually simulated this phenomenon. I have encluded a screenshot of this. The greenish glow can be seen at the very top of the window.
