If you have a very low-latitude aurora observation from tonight, please record your exact time and rough location and DO NOT DELETE your photo. These observations will be important for scientific research of this event.
Comment below if you have a low-latitude aurora sighting.

Have you seen the Rubin Observatory's first images?
Rubin has the largest digital camera in the world, and it's ready to revolutionize astronomy! Over the next decade, it will discover 2000x MORE galaxies than the 10 million shown below.
Let's explore how its images compare to other telescopes 🔭
