Another aurora season has begun in Churchill, but Brian and I are sitting it out this year. I am looking forward to seeing aurora photos the staff post and I'll be checking the webcam. Brian went the last 2 years in 2018 and 2019, but none of those photos made the blog. I've been searching through that treasure chest, otherwise known as "Photos" on my computer. Thought you would enjoy some of these. The following were all taken by Brian while volunteering at CNSC during the last two years. Sorry that they are not in order, but I believe dates are correct. As you can see, even though we were approaching the solar minimum during these years, there are breathtaking auroras when you are able to stand under the aurora oval.
March 17, 2018 The time around the equinox often produces excellent auroras.

February 2019- Photos with this radio tower (or whatever it is) are never my favorites, but I liked this aurora sitting over the old CNSC building which was used up until 2010 or 2011.
