Details:
Tonight was the clearest night of the last four aurora filled nights. Tonight they came on fast and furious. The lights moved and danced across the entire sky. Multiple ribbons moved quickly throughout and across the sky. Mostly greens with some purple reds the aurora season has begun at Summit Station on top of the ice sheet. It is finally dark enough!The photo with the Big House shows a meteor streaking overhead the dome. Bring on the lights. Tonights temperature was -3c/-35f with five knots of wind.... time to dress for the spaceweather;)
