Senja 2019 - when traveling was still an option.
Aurora is active all year long for 24/7 but requires darkness to be seen. People currently living in the Arctic Circle cannot experience aurora due to the midnight sun (or polar days): the sun goes up and down but remains above horizon, this will peak on the summer solstice, 21th of June, exactly 7 days from now - the longest day of the year.
On the flip side, people in the Antarctic Circle are now experiencing the polar night, where exactly the opposite phenomenon is happening, the sun goes up and down, but remains below horizon, they live in total darkness, and will experience the longest night in 7 days.

With all this boring description, can you spot the North America Nebula?

Happy International Dark Sky Week!

Today marks the beginning of the International Dark Sky Week 2020, here is my tribute from the last year supporting this cause, a yearly celebration and an opportunity to raise awareness on Artificial Light At Night (ALAN), and a reminder on how it affects human health, wild life, the environment and science.⁣

Remember: Only use lights WHEN needed, WHERE needed, shield and direct them to the ground. More info on darksky.org⁣

This video was shot across 3 countries, starting from the endangered dark skies of Lebanon, passing through Chile and Jordan.⁣

Stay tuned on instagram.com/moophz as I will be sharing daily photos during this week, from the dark skies of the world to raise this awareness, as a special post will be shared on the last day.
⁣
Locations in Lebanon are the Cedars of Shouf, Cedars of Jaj and Akoura⁣
