#1, #2, #3, #4, more | L. Anderson: "I was at the farm last night for a family star party... and everyone got to see the Northern Lights. While the activity was not strong, the Northern Lights could be seen all night. At 3:30 a.m. (local time) on January 11, the northern lights were pulsating - a lot of movement. It was a beautiful sight." |
