January 19, 2017 Auroras

Grand Rapids, Minnesota

For the second night in a row, a high speed stream of solar wind brought visible auroras to the area.  They were near the northern horizon only, but a clear night was a welcome sight!  We had a lot of clouds in December and much of January.

It's nice to be able to look up and see the stars.  That doesn't happen very often during the winter.
