While the rest of the country posted fabulous photos of northern lights last night, here at Bearskin (renowned for our fabulous aurora views) we had cloudy skies and even a little rain. Annette waited patiently and eventually the skies cleared for a beautiful light show over East Bearskin Lake.

🌌 AURORA COLORS – The Science Behind the Lights

When you see an aurora dancing across the sky, you’re not just watching a light show—you’re witnessing the story of Earth’s atmosphere told through colors. Each shade appears at a different height and comes from a different atmospheric gas. Here’s your quick guide:

🔴 Red
• Appears above 150 miles (240 km).
• Shows up during intense solar activity where oxygen is very limited.

💚 Green
• The most common aurora color.
• Forms up to 150 miles (240 km) high.
• Caused by excited oxygen atoms.

💜 Purple / Violet
• Seen above 60 miles (96 km).
• Created by high concentrations of nitrogen.

🔵 Blue
• One of the rarest aurora colors.
• Appears below 60 miles (96 km).
• Also linked to nitrogen in lower layers of the atmosphere.

The public school system has failed America on epic proportions, but its inability to adjust to AI is going to take that failure to another level. A five-year-old in 2025 will be a 20 year-old in 2040. Technology is leaving the education system behind & parents need to adjust.
