Local photographer Michael Potter captured this photograph of the Northern Lights while on a ship in Delaware Bay Aug. 12. “There was a faint red glow on the horizon only visible on my camera all evening,” he said. “At 2 a.m., just as I was about to get off at Cape Henlopen, the aurora exploded to the north. The brightest bands were easily visible naked eye. The long exposure of the camera was necessary to see the color, though.” This unmodified 10-second exposure was made on an iPhone 15 Pro Max.
