last night we drove out 45 minutes north to go to a less light polluted area at midnight and it was so fucking worth it. the aurora was beautiful and so all encompassing of the sky. my housemate took some fantastic photos on their phone that ill be looking at for years. three of us saw a shooting star too (we saw multiple instances), mine was the first ive ever seen irl.
i almost didnt go. very good reason to be out until 3 am. i would do that again in a heartbeat.
