The 11th Full Moon of the year is traditionally known as the Beaver Moon. This unusual name is said to derive from the time-keeping traditions of Native Americans. In particular, the Moon is named after beavers preparing their lairs for the cold winter months ahead, although it is also known by many other names.

An aurora borealis is a natural light display in Earth's sky, predominantly seen in high-latitude regions. The bright dancing lights of the aurora are actually collisions between electrically charged particles from the sun that enter the earth's atmosphere. The northern lights are the beautiful dancing waves of light that have captivated people for millennia. But for all its beauty, this spectacular light show is a rather violent event. Energized particles from the sun slam into Earth's upper atmosphere at speeds of up to 45 million mph (72 million km/h), but our planet's magnetic field protects us from the onslaught. As Earth's magnetic field redirects the particles toward the North Pole, the dramatic process transforms into a cinematic atmospheric phenomenon that dazzles.

With good intentions we made the trek to Kwaaymii Point in the Laguna Mountains. At about 6000' it's pretty spectacular. Last night not so much. Crazy winds, low temperatures, and cloudy skies made it a challenge. I did catch a plane and two meteors before the wind took my camera into a face plant in the earth. Maybe next year will be better.
