Oooh, gorgeous! I can't quite imagine living someplace where it gets that cold & the sun is that low. I grew up in the U.S. in Michigan, at ~45th N. Parallel, but that wasn't even close to what you see! (Tho' it was in the country so the stars & Aurora Borealis, when we could see them on a moonless night, were heart-clenching.)
I stayed up to watch the lunar eclipse Solstice morning (it was around 2-4:00 a.m. here in Florida). Even in the middle of the night I stepped out to gaze in only a fleece sweatshirt, which felt strange, but the sight of the red-amber moon chased other thoughts out of my head. Thinking of other folks all around the world watching the eclipse &/or watching through the longest night for Sunreturn gave me a feeling....
I remember seeing the Aurora Borealis once when I was a kid. Mum was driving me home from violin practice and we were just talking about how cool it would be to get to see it some time and five minutes later we saw beautiful green lights in the sky. We don't get to see it much where I live and I think that's the only time I've ever seen it.
It was so cloudy here so we missed the eclipse unfortunately. I imagine it must have been amazing!
