Northern Lights from Space

from iconolith:



I've been told that you can see the northern lights here in Juneau, but the conditions have to be just right (like to clouds!) There are places very close to town that would be dark enough without the lights of human activity. Its been very clear since last Thursday but I haven't been looking for the lights - I might have been missing something. Maybe they will be out tonight.

Lights at UAS Campus

Sometime in late Fall I started to see more and more light displays on the UAS campus. At the three major entrances there are lighted trees that highlight the route in and out. All colors are used - blue, white, red, yellow. On the side of some of the main buildings are lighted murals, mostly with an ocean-life theme. I didn't have a tripod with me so some of these are a little blurry - but I think you get the idea!
