Abandon your cozy winter blankets for a moment, my stargazing friends, because there’s a cosmic spectacle lighting up the sky!

Ah, the Apollo 17 lunar module Challenger – a spaceship that looks like it was crafted by a committee of geometry enthusiasts and slightly over-caffeinated engineers.

On October 22, 2024, at Rogers Dry Lake in Edwards, California, something slightly absurd happened that would make even the most stoic engineer chuckle.

Have you ever gazed up at the night sky, searching for those faint fuzzy spots, and thought to yourself, “I wonder what’s happening up there?”

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, stargazers and couch potatoes, gather around because I have a stellar tale that’s sure to make your jaws drop faster than a celestial body plummeting towards Earth!

Ah, December—the month of festive cheer, cozy nights by the fire, and the one time of year when fleeting streaks of light paint the night sky like a celestial fireworks show.

Ever looked up at the night sky and wondered if there’s a neighbor out there with a little more drama than your typical suburban family?

Have you ever looked up at the night sky and thought, “Wow, that twinkly light is a bit more twinkly than the others?”

When you gaze up at the night sky on Earth, there’s a good chance you’ve witnessed the mesmerizing dance of the Northern Lights.
