ASTRO DOGS CELESTIAL ADVENTURES LAST NIGHT, FEATURING THE AURORA BOREALIS, METEORS, LIGHTNING, PLANETS MOON AND MILKYWAY. 😍💚💜💙🌩🌠✨️
Wow, what an incredible night (12th-13th of August) last night was. A second night in a row where we have been treated to a stunning display of the Northern Lights along with endless dazzling meteors and this time we were treated to a lightning display that ran throughout the night too!
After giving the heads up about a potential display, we gathered our things and drove out on a little adventure to the North York Moors National Park.
On route the skies grew darker and we witnessed all of the stars slowly begin to emerge, a gorgeous moon set and we saw lots of bunnies and hares hopping around too!
Once we arrived we began to set up and to our delight the aurora was already dancing in the twilight, not only that but it was even visible to the naked eye!
The sky was painted with so many beautiful colours. There were stunning pinks, greens and even purples and blues with gorgeous white columns stretching high into the sky (up towards Cassiopeia at times) and dancing side to side.
There were so many meteors blazing across the sky in all directions throughout the night too. There was a beautiful array of Perseids, Southern Delta Aquariids and Alpha Capricornids lighting up the sky. We were even treated to several fireballs too! There was so many that we lost count!
Later in the evening the Milkyway began to emerge, arching across the night sky and the gas giant Jupiter and red planet Mars began to rise adding to the beautiful celestial array.
On top of this there was an incredible lightning display that lasted all night onto the dawn hours. Lighting the sky up with dramatic flashes in the distance. It was truly incredible and exciting to witness all of these beautiful natural light shows.
We are so pleased we were able to help so many of you see and capture this stunning display. Well done to all of you who caught it. We also met lots of wonderful people throughout the evening too. Lovely to meet you all!
The aurora was still dancing into the morning twilight, as were the meteors racing across the sky and the lightning displays. The amazing light show didn't stop until the dawn had fully set in.
After witnessing such an amazing display of Aurora, meteors and lightning we packed our equipment up and headed home.
All in all we had a wonderful and truly memorable evening. We can't wait to go through all of our photographs after we have had some rest. Here is one of our photographs for now. We hope you like it. 😊💖
