Northern Lights on Foss
Wholesome post about yesterday's magical northern lights on campus. If you were lucky enough to be out and about and discover them on your own, or came sprinting out to Foss after seeing every single person you've ever known post them on Instagram, you were in for a real treat. After a huge coronal mass ejection, the NOAA issued a G3 solar storm warning, with predictions that the northern lights could be seen as far south as Florida. By a little after 7, a huge and bright streak of pink could be seen in the sky in Middletown, and continued to change and eventually fade over the next hour.
While the sky being a bright magenta was obviously the highlight of the night, I also found it really heartwarming to see the Wes community come together like that and to see so many students buzzing with excitement. People were running around the campus trying to find the best place to see it, cheering, calling their loved ones, and even sparking up in true Wesleyan fashion. Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures of the 100+ people out on the field in little groups with their friends, but it was a really sweet moment that I think everyone was grateful to share with each other.
