Yes, it really is a stunning teal blue waterfall flowing out of stark black and white rocks. This just may be the most unique waterfall there is!

This night there was some beautiful airglow and perfectly still water at 11,000 feet. Looking back at earlier images this time of year as Milky Way core season ends is always bittersweet.

ISS transiting the sun with hazy, horrible seeing conditions and the sun only 16 degrees above the horizon. About as bad as it gets and I don’t care - it’s always fun and amazing to see!

“The cosmos is within us. We are made of star-stuff. We are a way for the universe to know itself. The nitrogen in our DNA, the calcium in our teeth, the iron in our blood, the carbon in our apple pies were made in the interiors of collapsing stars”. – Carl Sagan

Aurora season is upon us! (But has it ever really stopped this year 😮‍💨) I can’t wait to get back up to high latitudes early 2025. 🙋‍♂️ Do you have plans to travel north for aurora this season?
