Northern lights!

The sky put on a brilliant show tonight! The Northern Lights were very strong over the SLU campus tonight. I went to the golf course where there's less light pollution and was just in time to see the build up and peak of the colors. This is the second fall season in a row that I've been able to see the Northern Lights at SLU! A truly special encounter.
