Description

Auroral rays poured down through the suburban skies of Northeast Ohio, USA the night of May 10, 2024. The peak of the observable aurora event seems to have been just before 15:00 UTC -- not long after local twilight faded. This single-exposure image was recorded at 15:15 UTC. Unfortunately, most color and detail was below the threshold of vision so to the unaided eye the aurora appeared as thin cirrus clouds against an otherwise-clear sky. Aiming a smartphone or other camera at those "clouds", however, instantly revealed the beautiful and amazing extent of the phenomenon.
