The aurora borealis is not something you should expect to see if you live in zip code 88042; Lake Valley, Kingston, Hillsboro, and adjacent areas. But that is what happened last night. At around 8 p.m. John West, Therese Van Buskirk, and Debora Nicoll took the following photos of the northern lights. John’s photograph is the first in the following series, followed by Therese’s photographs, and lastly a photograph of the aurora behind Brenda Mountain by Debora Nicoll.
There is the possibility that the aurora borealis will be seen from this area tonight (11/12) and perhaps even on Thursday night (11/13).
Special thanks to Kathleen Blair for assisting in this post.
Amended at 9:03 to add the photograph by Debora Nicoll.
