After weeks and weeks of overcast and wind and storms we finally had another clear calm day!!
This panorama turned out a little wonky but it's the best I could do, my phone doesn't really enjoy doing anything at -70 F.I saw the first glimmer of the sun below the horizon after 75 sunless days! It was so bright it hurt to look at. It's still two days until the official day of sunrise. We will get a two day weekend this weekend to celebrate it!
I love the blue of unobstructed polar twilight.
It was a very clear night as well so I finally got to put my camera to good use, it had been collecting dust in the past few stormy weeks.
I wish it could be clear like this every night!
It was fantastic out! The little red dot near the horizon, almost in the center is Venus. The bright dot above and to the left is Mars. Such a cool place to live.
