Poker Flat Research Range — Rocket Launch into the Northern Lights
A research rocket was launched into the Northern Lights tonight (Nov. 8, 2023 just after midnight) from the Poker Flat Research Range north of Fairbanks, Alaska. All in one video: the Aurora Borealis, the Big Dipper, and a rocket launch! This was the first time I photographed a rocket launch, and experiencing a countdown was truly exciting. Enjoy.
