Milky Way and aurora at pesto lake in canada

Peyto Lake, Canada

Out in the Canadian wilderness, with a new moon, the dark skies lit up with a million stars. With the aurora forecasted at a Kp 6 we were hopeful for a nice display. On the horizon we saw huge vertical green bands and then noticed this faint wave bowing over our heads and for about a half hour the green band moved in below creating a unique and colorful display across the Milky Way. It was astro-overload and I loved every minute of it! It’s truly mind-blowing to see the universe in action.
