The Northern Lights came out to dance tonight through the wispy clouds after sunset in the twilight, captured from Edmonds, WA

A breathtaking twilight scene unfolds over the tranquil Puget Sound, featuring vibrant hues of purple and orange in the sky. Stars begin to twinkle as wispy clouds drift across, with a mesmerizing display of aurora visible over the horizon as seen from the Edmonds waterfront in Washington state.

Night falling on Murphy Dome, just outside Fairbanks, Alaska. This was taken in March 2012, just a few days before the conjunction of Jupiter and Venus—both visible here to the right of the trees.

More photos from the area here: https://photos.lwpetersen.com/Explore/Explore-Alaska/Interior/Murphy-Dome

A wide-angle night photograph from Murphy Dome near Fairbanks, Alaska, taken in March 2012. A small group of snow-covered spruce trees is in the foreground, slightly right of center. Behind them in the dark sky, two bright celestial bodies—Jupiter and Venus—are visible close together. The landscape is covered in snow under a star-filled sky. Faint outlines of a ridge and distant hills appear under the starlight.

The night sky is often cloaked in Oregon. Tonight it was there for my delight. The moon, some planets, and some stars. What a gem of a moment.

Looking up at a bright moon with a handful of planets and stars nearby. The tops of some pine trees can be seen poking up through the bottom edge of the frame.

Well that’s a wrap! There’s still a couple weeks left of “Aurora” season up north, but I’ve skipped town in search of warmer temps and spring flowers. If we do end up getting a nice earth facing solar flare in the near future I’ll post up something info and let everyone know. But in the meantime hope you all enjoy the changing seasons!

A low dark and hilly horizon is capped by a pale green band in the sky with vertical streaks of reddish pink reaching up into the starry night

Filled an empty wall space with some old paintings, all experimenting with a dot technique.

Wow I thought my photo of the Moon had some artifacts....it seems no....those are the Pleiades...

Had to zoom in:

Then took my binoculars to get closer:

Not the best quality but still :).

Threats to astronomical observatory sites around the world from light pollution are growing, but the existing skyglow standard for site protection dates to nearly a half-century ago. Astronomers are considering a new standard to replace it given advances in lighting technology.
