I saw the Northern Lights for the first time, thanks to the Pixel 9 Pro Fold

Northern Lights captured by the Pixel 9 Pro Fold with Astrophotography Mode.

With everything else going on over the past few days, I didn't even know there was a chance to see the Northern Lights. Earlier this year, there was an opportunity to this natural phenomenon, but I simply missed out. This time, I didn't miss out, and I was extremely lucky. 

Last night, as dusk turned dark, I was scrolling through social media and saw a few posts explaining an ongoing solar storm. After the sun was down for the day, I went outside, hoping that I'd be able to see it, but I came up short. Then, I remembered that it was possible to "see" the Aurora Borealis with the help of a camera, even if it was not visible to the naked eye.
