Program Description

Event Details

Join Melissa F. Kaelin, the founder of the Michigan Aurora Chasers and the author of "Below the 45th Parallel: The Beginner's Guide to Chasing the Aurora in the Great Lakes Region" as she gives tips, tools and techniques for spotting this rare natural phenomenon. During the day, Melissa works with space weather researchers at the University of Michigan to uncover the mysteries of the Aurora, and at night, she chases the Northern Lights, successfully catching vivid eyesight-visible displays as far south as Lansing. She has helped hundreds, if not thousands, of Aurora Chasers to view the Northern Lights for the first time.
