The pictures from my grandson.

My grandson, Morten, is quite an accomplished photographer. He uses my son’s previous camera, a Lumix DMC G7. Morten is fourteen. These photographs are locations in Southern England.

The Supermoon.

Last Thursday night we had a supermoon in Southern Oregon. That got me thinking of whether people had taken photos of the moon even if they were not the supermoon of December, 2025.

The photos are from Unsplash.

Some photos of The Northern Lights.

EarthSky’s Kelly Kizer Whitt captured the northern lights from near Madison, Wisconsin, on November 11, 2025. Kelly wrote: “An amazing night of aurora. In front of the red curtains we had bright green active blobs. One of the better displays I’ve seen.” Thank you, Kelly!

oooo

Ross Stone in Big Pine, California, captured this stunning view on November 11, 2025, and wrote: “The NRAO radio telescope in Owens Valley and the beautiful red aurora in the November sky. This was awesome, and the sky was so bright.” Thank you, Ross!

oooo

EarthSky’s Marcy Curran in Cheyenne, Wyoming, captured a beautiful display of auroras on November 11, 2025. Marcy wrote: “Aurora put on quite a show from Wyoming tonight. Lots of reds and green easily visible to the eye. We live in a semi-rural spot.” Thank you, Marcy!

oooo

Darrell Reese could see the aurora on November 11, 2025, from Ohio! Thank you for sharing your photo, Darrell.

oooo

Ruth Goodwin-Hager in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, shared this image from November 11, 2025, and wrote: “I banged on my neighbors’ doors and recruited others to come outside and see the fabulous lights. It’s been 30 years since I’ve seen northern lights from my backyard like this. Amazing!” Thank you, Ruth!

oooo

Patricia Evans in Seabrook, New Hampshire, captured the aurora on November 11, 2025. Patricia wrote: “Aurora borealis honors Veterans Day. I was afraid that the cloud cover would prevent viewing the aurora borealis but the reds and greens were amazingly intense! What a goosebump moment!” Thank you, Patricia!

And here’s a YouTube video to round things off!

Picture Parade Four Hundred and Ninety-Six

This short video I watched last Friday and wanted to share it with you all.

(As I type this, I’m getting an error (Error 153) on my video player. I hope in reality everything will be fine.)

Astounding Comet Lemmon Pics From Our Community

Comet Lemmon has been the best comet of 2025. It passed closest to Earth on October 21 and closest to the sun on November 8. As it brightened in our skies, EarthSky community members from around the globe captured spectacular images of the comet. See a compilation of editor’s picks here. Thanks to all who submitted!
