Vincent Ledvina is a Space Physics Ph.D. student at the University of Alaska Fairbanks who calls himself “The Aurora Guy.” Although the northern lights have been more visible in the lower United States this past year, there is no comparison to seeing them in Alaska. If you view the videos and images on Vincent’s TikTok page, you will want to add seeing the northern lights in Alaska to your bucket list. Vincent steps out of his door, and a brightness appears over the horizon. When he turns to his right, the full splendor of the aurora borealis becomes visible. The vibrant greens dance across the sky like a prima ballerina performing The Nutcracker by Tchaikovsky. @vincentledvina The aurora tonight was absolutely unreal! ♬ Great Mother In The Sky – Lionmilk As the lights dance across the sky, undulating in a perfect rhythm, it is easy to get lost in their beauty. Vincent wants to share that beauty. He is passionate about science, nature, and especially the northern lights. His first memory of the lights was the “Halloween Storm” in 2003. The lights were visible in his home state of Minnesota. His goal is to inspire and educate people about the wonders of space weather and how it affects the northern lights in Alaska. @vincentledvina 99.9% of people have never seen the aurora… ♬ original sound – The Aurora Guy There is no adequate way to describe the myriad of colors and shapes that brighten the sky. In Alaska, the best time for a northern lights adventure is February and March. This is when they experience the clearest skies, and auroral activity is at its peak. Vincent maintains a website and blog, and offers guided aurora tours. He is working on his doctoral thesis on “auroral beads – how they form and their relation to the substorm process.” Vincent’s TikTok page is full of videos featuring the lights. Please share.
