A rainbow airglow! Air glows all of the time, but it is usually hard to see. A disturbance, like a storm, may cause noticeable rippling in the Earth’s atmosphere. These gravity waves are oscillations in air, just like the ripples created when a rock is thrown in calm water. Makes sense right? But where do the colors come from? The deep red glow likely originates from OH molecules excited by ultraviolet light from the Sun. The orange and green airglow is likely caused by sodium and oxygen atoms slightly higher up. A spectacular sky is visible through this airglow, with the central band of our Milky Way Galaxy running up the image center, and M31, the Andromeda Galaxy, visible near the top left.

I’ve never really been alone. But my life is changing now, and for the first time, I’m mostly spending time in my own company.
People say that you have to get to know yourself and be kind to yourself. I’ve always found it much easier to be kind to others and I don’t know who I really am by myself.
So I’m trying to spend more time doing things I enjoy alone. It’s weird at the moment, but I think I can get used to it, and maybe start to enjoy it as much as spending time with friends.

Lake Wendouree At Dusk - I’m in Ballarat this weekend for an astronomical society conference so I thought I’d head down to Lake Wendouree at dusk for a couple of photos. I snapped this 360 selfie while I was at it :)
