August First Friday | Chasing the Northern Lights

First Friday Live Lecture | Chasing the Northern Lights
With Special Guest, Melissa Kaelin; Founder of Michigan Aurora Chasers

When was the last time you saw the Northern Lights? This rare, natural phenomenon draws in onlookers around the world as they seek to see, experience and understand its colors and formations. Aurora has been documented in art and culture for centuries, but predicting this "space weather" is still an emerging science. We are living in an unrivaled time for Aurora Chasing, with the peak of an 11-year Solar Maximum predicted to hit in 2025. Join Melissa Kaelin, founder of the Michigan Aurora Chasers, as she provides a deeper understanding behind this phenomenon and reveals the best-kept secrets to chasing the aurora.

Live lectures start promptly at 6 p.m., there will be no late seating. Please arrive early for best seating.
