The aurora borealis erupting over the Chena River Valley from Angel Rocks near Fairbanks, Alaska. Usually, by mid-April, the aurora borealis season is over in Fairbanks, Alaska. The sky is typically too light at night to be able to see them. This year, there was potential for a CME to impact Earth's magnetosphere on April 24 or 25th. I lucked out with one of the best northern lights displays I've ever seen! Even after 1 am,there was still quite a bit of light on the horizon and even the stars were quite dim compared to our dark winter nights
