JeffSome incredibly vibrant views from my driveway. While on the previous post we were talking about the greens and purples of the Aurora, in that last photo there is a huge curtain of red above the green arc. Both these are caused by atmospheric oxygen, but the reds are from oxygen that is higher in the atmosphere. When these gases get hit by the charged particles from the solar wind, they vibrate to expel the positive charge and return to a neutral state. Depending on the amount density of the gasses (lower in the atmosphere has more, higher less) the vibration has a different wavelength that our eyes perceive as light. So reds are happening about 200km in the air with the greens happening about 100km up. The reds can be somewhat difficult to see with your naked eye but in instances like the second photo they are very vivid to the earthly observer. <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/aurora?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#aurora</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/auroraborealis?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#auroraborealis</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/nature?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nature</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/nightsky?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nightsky</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/alaska?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#alaska</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/northernlights?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#northernlights</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/gooutside?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gooutside</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/earthsbeauty?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#earthsbeauty</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/lookup?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lookup</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/astrophotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#astrophotography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/winterwonderland?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#winterwonderland</a>

LizSnowshoeing with my friends up a very steep hill. I had my jacket tied to my waterpack and it somehow got loose and fell off at the top on the mountain. I realized this when we were at the bottom. I was ready to abandon the jacket, but my friends refused because it was a brand new jacket and so I turned back and ran up that hill so my friends didn’t have to climb it all the way again. Everyone I passed on the trail said, “YOU’RE the jacket person? We saw it, it’s still there.” Haha everyone was so nice and no one took the jacket. I burned so many calories that day. 😅 <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/snow?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#snow</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/snowshoeing?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#snowshoeing</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/woods?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#woods</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/forest?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#forest</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/trees?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#trees</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/hike?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hike</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/hiking?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hiking</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/mountain?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mountain</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/mountains?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mountains</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/nature?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nature</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/gooutside?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gooutside</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/greatoutdoors?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#greatoutdoors</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/thegreatoutdoors?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#thegreatoutdoors</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/photography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#photography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/naturephotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#naturephotography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/myview?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#myview</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/view?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#view</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/adventure?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#adventure</a>
