We stayed up late Monday, hoping to catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights, but alas, it was not to be.

Maybe there’s just a whisper of them in the shot above… maybe? No matter. I’ll take a crisp, starry autumn sky any day of the week.

The AuroraForecast website tells me we may get another chance tonight. We’d best nap this afternoon, just in case.

If you’re into night sky fun, you may be interested in tonight’s Astronomy Talk at the Library, ‘Moons of Halloween with Stargazer John.’ It’s happening at 6:30 pm, and you can register at 519-376-6623 ext. 3 or info@library.osngupl.ca.

You’ll find this event and a lot more in our constantly updated and evolving Events Listings, which are available on the website and in each daily brief for our full subscribers.
