Space storm triggers northern lights across Utah

The northern lights swept across the Mountain West last weekend. We hear from a space scientist at the Space Weather Prediction Center in Boulder, Colorado, about what causes this phenomenon, and the effects it has on Earth. We also hear from a Utah drag artist who performed in Moab two weekends ago about what drag means to the queer community amidst the national culture wars. Plus, we hear from KUER about new snow survey technology that's flying over Utah. And we finish off with a story from KSUT about one man in Gunnison, Colorado, who has been cultivating relationships with beavers his whole life. - Show Notes - https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/products/aurora-30-minute-forecast
