If you have a very low-latitude aurora observation from tonight, please record your exact time and rough location and DO NOT DELETE your photo. These observations will be important for scientific research of this event.
Comment below if you have a low-latitude aurora sighting.

reminder that the perseid meteor shower will peak over the next few nights. if not for the dastardly moon being close to full, this is usually the marquee meteor shower of the year - unfortunately, we're unable to do anything about the moon. we've tried. but we hope you'll still get out there!
