Road Trip Lake Superior Northern Lights

Northern Lights, or Aurora Borealis, came out to play on Sunday, August 11, 2024 in the skies above Lake Superior. We were in Terrace Bay, between Marathon and Thunder Bay. The motel we stayed in was right beside the lighthouse.

I finally experienced the lights and found out what they looked like in person. They look like ribbons of vertical clouds. They are duller when viewed by sight especially when you have some light pollution, though you can still see the shimmering. Using a phone or camera you can really see the colour of the lights pop. I used my Samsung phone on night photo to get these shots. Our lights were green but I gave seen some other photos from Ontario and some had blue colours.

I also saw a shooting star going north to south but I don't know if it was part of the Perseid Meteor Showers.

See more of the aurora after the jump.
