Aurora in Texas: Double Light Show

In October, 2024, an unusually strong geomagnetic storm made aurora borealis, the Northern Lights, visible from Texas. The night had a full moon, clouds, and thunderstorms – any one of which can make it a bad night for catching the Lights with a camera. Instead, it made for very nice shots like this one, where Texas put on its own light show beneath the clouds, and the clouds wore bright rims lit by the moon.
