Aurora & Shooting Stars

Here are some pictures of the Aurora Borealis that we saw on Wednesday morning. All four pictures have shooting stars in them.

The first time I saw a shooting star in Alaska, I thought it was a rare occurrence. But the more time you spend in complete darkness without any light pollution, the more you see. In fact, you can see a couple shooting stars every minute.

Also notice how many stars there are. The night sky is incredible in complete darkness.
