On the night of Sunday 8/11/24, we were witness to another great showing of the Aurora Borealis here in Lyle, Wa. Almost as vivid as the display back in May, this particular event had an added bonus, it coincided with the Perseids Meteor Shower. This image was captured while recording a sequence for a timelapse video, but with the perfect timing, it caught the largest fireball meteor of the night just as the aurora was hitting the peak of intensity. I loved the way this photo had the meteor, aurora, and stars popping out through the clouds. I hope you all are enjoying these images as much as I am, and if this trend of increased solar activity is going to continue through next year’s expected peak, and possibly even still have some opportunities for a little ways into the declining phase, we should be in for some amazing images to come. Keep an eye on my photography page for more photos and timelapse reels as I continue to work on my backlog of images!
