Spooky Season Northern Lights and more!
1. NORTHERN LIGHTS IN DC!!!!! This week’s geomagnetic storm resulted in the aurora borealis being visible waaaaay more south than usual. A little after sunset yesterday, I saw someone in the Northeast US post a pic of the Northern Lights. So I decided to go to our roof deck and take photos to see if I could see anything. When I first went outside, it just looked like a normal evening. Once I began taking photos, the aurora borealis popped up in them. For some reason, our phone cameras can capture the phenomenon really well! I ran inside to tell John to come upstairs with his phone so he could experience it too. I have been dying to see the Northern Lights, and could not believe that my first time seeing them was from my own roof deck!!!
FYI, the Northern Lights may be visible tonight too, though probably not as intense. Go outside a little after sunset and snap photos of the sky!
