Hedy Tung On Nov. 14, urologists from Yale New Haven Hospital and the Yale School of Medicine shaved their beards and mustaches to celebrate “No Shave November,” raising awareness around men’s health issues. Also known as “Movember,” the concept was part of a global initiative launched by two men in Australia in 2003 to raise awareness around prostate cancer and other men’s health issues.

Shades of violet, green and red were faintly visible to the naked eye but were more defined through cameras on high exposure. Sightings of the phenomenon, also known as the aurora borealis or aurorae, spread quickly across social media, student group chats and by word of mouth.

Over 75 curious passersby and club members looked at a tiny image of Saturn, complete with its rings, through two computerized telescopes. The planet, visible to the naked eye as a bright speck, is especially apparent during this time of the month because of its high altitude in the sky early in the evening.
