Auroras from the International Space Station

[pointandshooter]

I went out to the Shenandoah Valley to see if I could see the auroras last night. Being colorblind, I didn't notice any, so I decided to just take a few pictures of Betelgeuse and Orion and then go home. My wife pointed out the auroras to me when I showed her my photos.

Wednesday, December 6.

At this time of year? At this time of day? In this part of the country?

Localized entirely within this blog? Well, yes. You better believe it. Unlikely as it may seem, Aurora Borealis is here. It is big, bright, and brilliant, and we have confined it entirely within the cosmos of this series of digital communications, for your viewing pleasure. So why not take some well-deserved time out this Wednesday, December 6, to marvel at the mysticism and wonder bestowed to us by the natural world. Don't say we don't spoil y'all.

And while you're at it, please indulge yourself in quote possibly the finest one minute and eleven seconds ever to air on television, inspired by the magnificence of The Northern Lights, and, of course, steamed hams.

You can also find the complete transcript here for the sole purpose of memorizing each line verbatim, and reciting it to impress friends, family, and strangers alike.

I hadn't drawn Once-ler in a bit and I wanted to try something a little different and play around with the hair and got this :)

If you saw the Northern lights last night, how does it feel to be god's favourite?

Northern Lights were out tonight. They didn't look like much with the naked eye but with a camera and a 30 second shudder speed...

they were taking up the whole northern half of the sky. I even took a picture of the northern horizon and you could see hits of purple and green.

Northern Lights, just outside Fredericton, NB today - October 10, 2024. First time I've seen them since I was 16 or 17, that's 33 - 34 years ago!

Beauty in the Norther lights

Gotta love the Brits right now, enjoying the Northern Lights for the first time at home.

Shame that they're acting as if nobody else can see them right now, or ever...
