Tomorrow will be the last day we see the Sun until February. Well we’ll likely not see it as it is forecast to be overcast. People image we have one long night, but that’s not true. We have a varying amount of twilight as the Sun skims below the horizon.

@NunavutBirder Beautiful photos. You'll get to enjoy the aurora for many months!

@digitalrabbit We do more and more as the North Magnetic Pole moves away. When I first arrived we barely saw them, and even then they were mostly smudges on the southern horizon. We were in the hole of the doughnut so to speak. Now we are on the inside edge.

@NunavutBirder @digitalrabbit studies These images are exquisite. And how wonderful to have months to experience the aurora! Is it astonishing? I've never had the experience myself but all descriptions I have read sound incredible

@sarawasson @digitalrabbit all part of the breathtaking beauty of this place. Aurora are astonishing. So is the thousands year old light winking at us from the stars. And..and… so much more.
Show threadClareNov 14, 2022
@sarawasson @digitalrabbit it is one of those phenomena that dazzles and take your breath away. I’ve been lucky enough to live in places where they could be seen throughout most of my life, in varying degrees of frequency and intensity. Fort Providence in the Deh Cho in the Northwest Territories probably had the best.

@jcmacomber I don’t mind the dark season. It’s filled with beauty, lots to do (Christmas games etc.) and the returning light builds anticipation for Spring.

@NunavutBirder
I agree that there is a lot to lime about the dark season. I believe I have a little SADS because of the low light though. I usually push through it.
Show threadClareNov 10, 2022
@jcmacomber SAD troubles many unfortunately, not so much here luckily as most have lived their entire lives, generations actually, with the waxing and waning of light and dark. I, luckily, had the circadian rhythm beat out of me with a life time of shift work, so I’m fine with the dark.

@re_do It’s not for everyone, to be sure. But I quite enjoy the dark season. There’s beauty in the night. It is a busy time and soon the twilight is growing each day and there is an anticipation of the return of the Sun.
