Wow… I never would have thought I’d get a shooting star with Aurora but last night blew away my expectations. We had such bright and tall pillars out here near Omaha Nebraska. I love this shot so much 🥹

Last night an incredible scene unfolded when I escaped some clouds and saw the magnificent Aurora herself underneath the beautiful stars.
