  9. Inuvik, Northwest Territories 🌌 Twilight vibes in #Inuvik! With the sun still below the horizon, we’re looking at a "mild" high of -20°C under clear, starry skies. This is about 8°C above our seasonal average! Light winds mean great conditions for spotting the Aurora tonight as we dip to -27°C. Keep the cameras ready! #Inuvik #NWT #ArcticLife #AuroraBorealis

  11. "Aurora Borealis," Étienne Léopold Trouvelot, 1881-82.

    Trouvelot (1827-95) has a mixed legacy. Born in France, he and his family fled to the US after a coup by Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte in 1851. He was earning a living as an artist and illustrator, but also had an interest in entomology. He was studying moths and had imported eggs of the spongy moth to his home...which proceeded to escape and devastate the hardwood forests here. Spongy moths (formerly called gypsy moths) are still a problem today and the story is an early example of how invasive species get introduced.

    After that debacle, he switched to astronomy, and soon joined the staff of Harvard as their resident astronomical illustrator, and worked at the US Naval Observatory, making early observations of sunspots. He returned to France in '82, where he spent the rest of his life.

    His illustrations are still well regarded today and have a decorative power of their own; I had a few masks with his illustrations during COVID.

    From the collection of the New York Public Library.

  16. #AuroraBorealis in #Loviisa on the Finnish Southern coast. To the naked eye this was like ”is there something there?” but the IPhone camera picked it up surprisingly well.
