The election is Tuesday, November 5th. It’s expected to be very close, which in itself is an indictment of our society. Please vote if you haven’t done so already!

The resulting auroras may fill the skies in many Northern areas with shimmering green, red and blue. If you’ve never seen auroras, this could be your chance! Ready for auroras? Read More
