Shape of the Sky Project

A Book Presented by Founder Melissa F. Kaelin

Get connected with the Shape of the Sky Book Project — An Aurora Photography Collection!

This record-setting book featuring nearly 200 Aurora Photographers, written and edited by Melissa F. Kaelin, is due out in January 2027.

The Shape of the Sky Project is a collaborative community project to publish a hardcover book that illustrates the beauty of the Northern Lights in Michigan, while featuring the work of hundreds of photographers. Created by Founder Melissa F. Kaelin, the project involved a public call for submissions and compiling photographs from across Michigan into one large Aurora Photography Collection.

The project launched in January 2026, as a way to celebrate the Fifth Anniversary of the Michigan Aurora Chasers — a vibrant community of over 134,000 Aurora Chasers and Photographers.
