Excitation stars It’s twice as far away"Excitation" is a postcard from my wildest night under the stars. This is a view straight up from my backyard. It shows the phenomenon of the Corona Aroura, where the aurora is positioned directly overhead. We are looking up through the rays created by the solar wind exciting our upper atmosphere. I would have never thought I would have the opportunity to see this from middle latitudes, but here we are! Excitation indeed. Photograph printed edge to
