Be sure to follow the rule before you head out.
Rule: You must post before you leave.
For those that don't know, a large solar storm is occurring this weekend that may allow much of the US to see the northern lights. However, the forecast calls for clouds where I am, and most of the east coast. https://www.space.com/solar-storm-coronal-mass-ejections-mothers-day-weekend-storm-watch
I'll probably still get some steamed hams ready just in case
That was me and the solar eclipse…
Sydney 2028! I'll see you there.
one of the few perks of living in Alaska
This is what I was able to take a picture of after driving out into rural northern Oregon. Wasn't this clear to the naked eye but you could still faintly see it and it showed up good on camera.
Same :(
Same ish in the UK, (12h before this post), being outside made a difference so don't watch it behind glass. Light pollution was definitely the biggest factor to visibility.
Yea we had messages from Whales with about the same.
About the same outside the burbs in MN
Exactly like this in VT
Similar in NH, but I haven’t processed the video from my good camera. The colors were brighter at 10:30-11 than later at 1:00.
This is me in Michigan right now. I'm debating whether to drive South to Ohio instead
Driving to Ohio instead of driving west is confusing on so many levels.
Meanwhile in the southern hemisphere:
South New Zealand- Aurora
North New Zealand- Aurora
Middle Zealand (where i am) - ☁️☁️☁️
Meanwhile, the North of England bucked the trend by being clear. The aurora was visible in town, despite ~~your directions~~ light pollution, but I still drove out to the country for an hour at 2am to get a better view.
Drove into VT since the forecast looked better and waited out the clouds, got a pretty good view after 2200. No major dancing of lights, but colorful streaks and of course the camera picked up way more than could be seen.
All we (our camera) could see in the middle of Germany.
the sky where i live in the us was just vaguely pink for a few minutes lmao
It's been amazing here in British Columbia, Canada. And I'm right on the border.
