The Lyrids meteor shower. Watch along the horizon, moving across from left to right. At 30 seconds, something incredible happens in the top right of the frame.
I'm not sure what exactly it is, but I know it's special.

It was very cool to be able to see the Northern Lights over Wisconsin last Sunday/Monday. At one point they were covering 3/4 of the sky. And then I remembered I had a camera in the house, here's a couple of the better shots. I was loving the glow through the trees, all mystical forest like, and even caught a few of the Lyrids.

Caught a meteor at Wide Hollow last night, and then the meteor exploded into a an orange string of gas in the sky. Never seen that happen before.

Meteor shower alert tonight, Saturday:
"For best viewing, Rice suggests watching the sunset toward the western sky, waiting until dark, and then turning around to the northeastern sky to look for meteors. The meteors will be flying up from the horizon, Rice said."
In the #Midwest, clouds are a possibility, but could clear. Check your area.

Two #solar #CME's are set to reach Earth over the next two days, and predicted geomagnetic storms bring the possibility of beautiful #aurora displays tonight and tomorrow for northern states and Canada. With no #Moon and the #Lyrids #meteorshower about to peak, there's a lot of action! https://earthsky.org/sun/sun-activity-solar-flare-cme-aurora-updates/

Just over a week till the peak of the #Lyrids meteor shower which this years is on the night of 22nd/23rd of April. This is the first major shower of spring, and moonlight won't be an issue with the crescent Moon just a few days old.
