I’ve always wanted to see the Aurora Borealis. I never imagined it would be possible right here in Soddy-Daisy, Tennessee. It is a wonderful surprise! I tried to get a few photos, but so many new builds in our area have caused quite a bit of light pollution. The Light Pollution Map shows we are in a fairly heavily light polluted area.

Lights interfere with astronomical viewing as well as confuse insects, birds, and other animals. Also, leaving lights on around your house does not deter burglars, it only helps them see. Please consider reducing the use of lighting for the well-being of all. And thank you for doing so!
