Had my last official aurora tour of the season last night. We got hit by a CME during the day and we weren’t sure if it would hold until night time hit in Alaska.
Luckily we were in for a treat, with huge columns and deep red and blue colors covering the sky.

It’s been an amazing season, I’ll keep posting up photos here and there but it’s time to relax with friends and family for a while.

"@capturetheatlas ✨ A Once-in-a-Lifetime Shot: Total Lunar Eclipse + Aurora Substorm! 🔴💚

Last Thursday night, under the freezing skies of Northern Alaska, I witnessed something I never thought I’d see in my lifetime…

A Total Lunar Eclipse—with the Moon fully immersed in Earth’s shadow—unfolded just as a powerful Aurora substorm exploded across the sky, painting the darkness with surreal waves of green and purple light.

I traveled thousands of miles, braving extreme cold and unpredictable weather, hoping for this rare celestial alignment. These two events rarely coincide—but on this night, everything lined up perfectly.

📸 Swipe to see the images & timelapse! Full-res shots are on my site at Capture the Atlas. You can also check out the RAW bracketed files from my close-up shot in my pinned IG stories.

This is why I chase the night sky—because sometimes, the universe gives us pure magic. Have you ever seen an eclipse or the Northern Lights? Let me know in the comments! ⬇️

I was confused about how the image even works so went to check it out. Very cool!

The Protostars within Lynds 483

Explanation:
Two protostars are hidden in a single pixel near the center of a striking hourglass-shaped nebula in this near-infrared image from the James Webb Space Telescope. The actively forming star system lies in a dusty molecular cloud cataloged as Lynds 483, some 650 light-years distant toward the constellation Serpens Cauda. Responsible for the stunning bipolar outflows, the collapsing protostars have been blasting out collimated energetic jets of material over tens of thousands of years. Webb's high-resolution view shows the violence of star-formation in dramatic detail as twisting shock fronts expand and collide with slower, denser material. The premier close-up of the star-forming region spans less than 1/2 a light-year within dark nebula Lynds 483.
