We had a pretty big aurora event today. I wasn't able to capture more of it and I didn't do a time-lapse because it is still so windy the camera would have been too unstable.
The wind kicks up a layer of blowing snow that drops visibility and gives everything a pretty eerie softness which is amplified by the green light from the aurora. The red light in the bottom left is the station lighting up the blowing snow around it.
Super eerie, those flags weren't visible tot he naked eye.
Lasers! Milky Way! Aurora! Oh my!
It's crazy that visibility can be so bad horizontally but the stars are still so clear when you look straight up.
This place has a very alien feel to it sometimes, like we really aren't supposed to be here, but it's absolutely amazing that we are anyway.
