Spectacular Aurora Borealis

 

Who saw the spectacular Aurora Borealis on Thursday, October 10, 2024? Above are photos taken from right outside my front door at around 7:30 PM EST. It was so clear to many in the northern sections of the United States as far south as North Carolina- a rare occurrence for those of us who live in that part of the world! Learn more about Auroras by watching this wonderfully informative video from NASA HERE .

Hands-on activities about Auroras you can do with your kids can be found at the Museum of the North website HERE.  And if you missed it, don’t worry. We are in a very active solar cycle in the next couple of years, so we may get other opportunities to see this amazing phenomenon!
