I'm really excited about auroras tonight!! I'll be watching this website to see where they are visible: https://www.aurorasaurus.org/
Currently, lots of people in northern-tier US states and southern UK reporting they can't see auroras. But maybe it'll get better?
And maybe, just maybe, I'll manage to stay awake until it's dark.
International Space Station passed near enough and bright enough for me to see last night!
2 pictures with my phone - 1 of the Space station and 1 of the ISS-ABOVE screen showing where it would be.
My #solarpunk novel series, Nothing is Promised, a power grid mystery with turtle bots and alt family structures, all battling the #climatecrisis.

2 pictures I took with my phone from my issabove raspberry pi device that I finally set up. This is really neat and can't wait until the ISS passes close enough for me to see!
It shows where the International Space Station is located, who is on board, and live video when available. Web site is https://www.issabove.com/
