The Eastern Lights (aka Aurora Easternalis) of West Virginia's Silica Valley Region are rare & stunning atmospheric optical phenomena that occur overtop our Headquarters Campus with "Wildly Anomalous Frequency"...and are uniquely visible & photographable from our property.
To assess the freakiness of the frequency of their shocking emergence, Steve conducted a 2 month experiment. Between the 2 months from 12/22/21 - 2/22/22, Steve photographed a gobsmacking 30 distinct atmospheric optical phenomena, including phenomena the World Meteorological Organization calls: Lunar Coronae, Solar Coronae, Lunar Halos, Solar Halos, Cloud Iridescences & Luminous Pillars Etc...SEE FOR YOURSELF...
