Aurora Colors During Astronomical Twilight
Photographer: Constantine ThemelisSummary Author: Constantine Themelis
I captured these lovely colors during morning astronomical twilight from near Potistika Beach, Greece on August 12, 2024. The camera is facing northeast, looking over the Aegean Sea. I was actually searching for Perseid meteors and didn't realize until later that I was fortunate enough to have witnessed the northern lights -- very rare for August in the middle latitudes.
