A few more photos from tonight’s incredible #aurora. I’m fascinated by the amount of red light tonight. This is generated by oxygen molecules being excited by light plasma at least 600 km above the Earth. The green is also oxygen molecules, but much lower (100-250km). Definitely a great night.

A manatee gingerly plods against a strong incoming current over the spiky staghorn corals (which are not something a manatee is used to encountering in the Intercoastal Waterway!) #manatee #manateesofcoralcity #ploddingalong #coralcitycamera #miami #portmiami #biscaynebay #coralcity

First in-person #hockey game since Guy Lafleur was still on the team 😂. (I'm an ex-Montrealer). A blast watching the Montreal #Canadiens take on the Seattle #Kraken at Climate Pledge Arena! Habs won 4-3! Lots of dazzling digital production, times have changed since just organ music! #GoHabs #NFL
