Experiencing the Southern Hemisphere night skies was unreal! For many years I dreamed about seeing the Milky Way from down under. This dream finally came true in June when our group of astronomy educators were accepted into the ACEAP ambassador program to Chile. I was so excited waiting as the sun set behind the mountain, just thinking in a few minutes I am about to witness something incredible. I knew that night would be ingrained into my memory for the rest of my life, so I am glad the skies stayed clear to capture a few photos! I setup my gear as our ACEAP group was given a great presentation and private tour of this public observatory outside Santiago. Chile holds so many beautiful star gazing spots and I was blown away at how bright the Milky Way was for only being 30 minutes outside Santiago.

The ghostly remains of an fireball meteor that lit up the surrounding landscape. Ionized gas glows brightly in this image near the famous beehive cluster M44 in cancer.
The meteor was probably a leonid fireball.

Detail of NGC7331

NGC 7331 (also known as Caldwell 30) is a spiral galaxy about 40 million light-years (12 Mpc) away in the constellation Pegasus. It was discovered by William Herschel in 1784.NGC 7331 is the brightest member of the NGC 7331 Group of galaxies.

The galaxy is similar in size and structure to the galaxy we inhabit, and is often referred to as "the Milky Way's twin", although recent discoveries regarding the structure of the Milky Way may call this similarity into doubt.

Red sprites, lightning, zodiacal lights, milky way and orange airglow on La Palma

Credits: Adrien Mauduit

In the night of November 21st-22nd (last night), I was out shooting a time-lapse of the milky way On La Palma in the Canary Islands when some clouds rolled in along with thunderstorm that developed on the Atlantic ocean (west). At first nothing major, but as I played back my time-lapse on the LCD screen of my Canon 6D camera, what a surprise I had when I saw the 'red dots' on the very right-hand side of the frame. Red dots, because I was shooting with a 14mm lens. As I zoomed in to only confirm my suspicions, I could not contain my excitement: I had caught my very first red sprites. Not only that, but with a very cool combination of events: Fall milky way and zodiacal lights (as I shot around 20:00, a bit more than an hour after LT sunset), orange airglow (barely visible here on the horizon but more visible earlier in the time-lapse, and of course lightning and sprites. I had been waiting years to capture this elusive phenomenon, and tried countless times in vain. What a surprise and a memory of a lifetime!
