Aurora in Missouri
/The aurora was visible from the Springfield MO area this past Tuesday! My husband said that he couldn’t see it when he walked outside at our house in Nixa – but his phone certainly did! The picture was taken at 8:20 PM.
Dr. Mike Reed (a colleague of my daughter’s at Missouri State) saw it too – at 9:20 PM.
One of my daughter’s students (Bishwash Devkota, MSU astrophysics senior and president of Ozark Amateur Astronomy Club) went out to Missouri State University’s Baker Observatory and provided 5 photographs taken after 10 PM.
The sky is not particularly dark at our house; seeing the aurora and a few stars demonstrates how good the phone camera is!
