Even More Aurora!

Man Hennigsvær was magical for the aurora for us!! Last night I was doing my evening things, had just wrote up the aurora post from the night before and was getting some evening tea and everything and my app started pinging that people nearby were posting aurora photos! I was like what?? It is not even fully dark yet! I can still see colors where the sun set! But we went outside and lights! At first not that much, but they quickly danced across the whole sky! They were so bright!! And so much fun! Lots of pinks too! The first pink bits started as a very small ball over by the sunset horizon then kept expanding and moving across the sky until it was filled with lights! It was so cool!! They were very active last night, more so than other nights. Always shifting and making cool new patterns. It was awesome! We were out for about an hour and a half just watching and I was like how am I supposed to do all my evening things when I have this to watch??? Then they settled down and I was able to get some things done quickly before bed. I don’t think we will see any tonight as it is very cloudy, but you never know! The clouds could clear up in an instant. One of the reasons for this trip was to try to see the aurora and were have gotten to see so much of it!Read more
