Last night\/early this morning Ohio got another chance to see the Northern Lights!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It wasn’t as strong as the May light show, but many people were up trying to catch the Perseid Meteor shower. I didn’t catch any meteors on camera, but around 11PM I managed some pink lighting in the sky with the dipper. They faded but a lot of people saw them again around 2:30AM (I was passed out by then).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
