Midnight Disco - a photo on Flickriver

Midnight Disco

It's been a while since I've been here but the recent solar events have forced me out of hiding ;-)

The aurora borealis fills the night sky in the early hours of the morning over Mount Adams, Washington, during the solar storm of May 11, 2024. This solar storm, topping out the space weather scales at a G5, was one of the most powerful of the past century and resulted in auroras, or northern lights, being seen as far south as Puerto Rico. Colorful auroras twisted and danced overhead for much of the night, and the calm lake provided a beautiful opportunity for capturing reflections of the stars and aurora.
