Photo of protest in downtown Anchorage, Alaska. Beautiful day. People set up on the snowy park strip spelling out FUCK ICE

More time-lapse footage from the night of March 20, taken in the Goldstream Valley of Fairbanks, Alaska. Moon just hanging out in those high altitude reds on the left.

Last night over the Goldstream Valley, Fairbanks. Not super bright, but one of the more colorful displays I've seen.

Vivid aurora borealis fills the entire sky over the Goldstream Valley near Fairbanks, Alaska on the night of March 20, 2026. Broad sweeping curtains of deep purple and magenta dominate the upper sky, with bright green aurora streaking upward through the center-right of the frame. Black spruce trees are silhouetted across the foreground against a snow-covered landscape. A faint moon is visible low on the horizon between the trees, with distant town lights glowing beneath it. Stars are visible throughout the sky between the aurora curtains.

Twenty minutes of aurora compressed to 17 seconds. Goldstream Valley, Fairbanks, March 20, 2026. Not a huge display, but a lot of color.

A little color in the Golstream Valley sky tonight!

#alaska #auroraborealis #northernlights

Bright purple and green aurora borealis fills the night sky over the Goldstream Valley near Fairbanks, Alaska. Two narrow green curtains streak upward from lower left toward the upper right, surrounded by a broad diffuse purple and magenta glow covering most of the sky. Black spruce trees are silhouetted in a ring around the frame, with snow-covered ground in the foreground. A faint crescent moon or planet is visible low on the horizon between the trees, with a faint glow of distant lights below it. Stars are visible in the darker portions of the sky.

Water molecules bond at a tetrahedral angle of 109.5 degrees. That angle, repeated at the molecular level, is why every snowflake has six-fold symmetry. The hexagonal lattice structure of ice propagates outward as the crystal grows, with each arm following a closely similar thermodynamic path (small differences due to temperature and pressure over small distances).

These landed on my car window in Fairbanks.

Two snowflakes resting on a car window, photographed in extreme close-up against a smooth gray glass surface. The main snowflake at center-left displays a classic six-armed dendrite structure with intricate branching patterns, smaller side branches, and flat hexagonal plate sections at the arm tips. The crystal is translucent and nearly colorless with a faint pink tint. The six arms show subtle asymmetry. Each follows the same general pattern but with small differences in branching detail. A second partial snowflake is visible at the far right edge of the frame, showing only two arms. Small condensation droplets are scattered across the glass surface in the background. Fairbanks, Alaska.
