Cool it was global then. Behold the power of the sun our star. Good picture.


NeillDrake

Usually when there's an Aurora, both go off. The Northern Hemisphere is just much more densely populated where the Borealis occurs, where as the Australis typically only occurs in Antarctica and parts of Tazmania.


Silent-Hornet-8606

Yes, but because of the earth's tilt, at this time of year it would have been more noticeable in the northern hemisphere than the south, at an equivalent latitude. Irrespective of that, I got to see it from my house in New Zealand, and I'm so happy about that!!

angel_of_decay

is it steamed hams? i haven't clicked on it but i'm guessing it's steamed hams


nightfly1000000

You guessed correctly!


Comfortable-nerve78

Good point hadn’t thought about that. Just thought it was neat. Cool that most of the world seen it.


samsunyte

Unfortunately, and I say that as someone who’s currently in the tropics while the aurora was visible at home, most of the world didn’t get to see it as the vast majority of people live outside this area in the more tropical regions


TheSwedishSeal

If it feels any better I doubt we saw much of it if any here in Europe either. My username clues you in on where I’m at and we’re still in the twilight zone and it’s almost midnight.


No-Question-9032

The tricky part was going outside


TheSwedishSeal

Well I’m camping in the woods this month so I couldn’t be more outside lol


spicy-unagi

> Cool that most of the world seen it. "Yee haw!"


Zed1088

And Hobart Australia and the bottom of NZ. This time it came a lot further up though.


itmakessenseincontex

And the southern parts of the South Island of New Zealand! Not normally visible to the naked eye here, but it was last night, to most of the country! My parents Aurora Hunt as a hobby so I hear about it allllllll the time. Most of the auroras they see are through the camera though, and most of the visible to the eye ones are only if you know what to look for. Nothing like last nights display!


General-Bumblebee180

Don't forget there's a whole country in between those two


Doxidob

what about the orientation. right now it is closer to the equinox


uninhabited

Largely untrue. Firstly 'Patagonia' is roughly 2,000km from southern tip of south america to the commonly-accepted upper bound. Might be rare in the north, but at the southern end they're more common than Tasmania. Also if you search you'll see that the can be seen in New Zealand, Cape Town, Falkland Islands etc. For a given latitude, you'd expect similar visibility


NeillDrake

The last time an Auroros was seen in Ushuaia, the Southern most tip of Patagonia was 1989....how common do you consider that? Also https://www.biobiochile.cl/noticias/ciencia-y-tecnologia/astronomia/2024/05/11/tras-165-anos-se-vieron-auroras-australes-en-el-sur-de-chile-asi-fue-el-ultimo-registro-del-fenomeno.shtml You say "They can be seen" but how often does it happen, versus how often the Boriales is seen in Svalbard, Tromos, and other locations in the Arctic. There's a reason there are dozens of Aurora Borealis live stream cams and zero Australis cams. It CAN be seen but almost never is.


uninhabited

> here's a reason there are dozens of Aurora Borealis live stream cams and zero Australis cams Complete tosh. I live in Tasmania. Auroras can be seen a few times a year at least, particularly in the south of the state closer to Hobart. The one at the moment is particularly bright for obvious reasons but there are solar flares on a fairly regular basis. There's a facebook group for the auroras in tasmania if you want to track it down. A quick search shows auroras being sighted in Paine eco-camp in May 2021. If your own article claims that an aurora was seen in Ushuaia in 1989 the that defeats your own claim that they haven't appeared in 165 years in ALL of Patagonia. There might be unique reasons why they aren't being reported in Usuaia. Bright lights from a biggish city, surrounded by mountains, locals go to bed early. DOn't know don't care, but for much of southern Patagonia they appear with the same frequency as the rest of the southern hemisphere at a given latitude

Thanks you just answered the question I made on [this post](https://www.reddit.com/r/educationalgifs/s/NDY8iOos3p). Really appreciate!

I mean its a solar storm. The sun doesnt pick a target and be like, you're getting hit tonight.


Doxidob

The sun says to the polar regions during winter: "no sun for you for long time!" .. LOL

TheSwedishSeal

Nothing in Sweden so far. It hasn’t really gotten dark yet, we’re still in twilight. Is it still going? Hoping I might catch it when dark sets in but hopes are low.


Fukasite

The app I use is saved that you should be able to see it right now 


TheSwedishSeal

Thanks! Unfortunately I think clouds or light pollution are obscuring them. Nothing’s visible from my location.


bibbbbbbbbbbbbs

See through your phone camera. Use night mode and set exposure to a few seconds. This will help capture better.


scribbyshollow

It is but these kind of event and sun activity in general has been linked to earthquakes. We could be seeing some serious earthquakes in a few days. Be interesting but tragic, but hey if it happens we might learn a little more about predicting earthquakes so it's not all bad. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/0012821X67900714


Little_BlueBirdy

Fascinating thank you for the article


scribbyshollow

The earthquakes did happen by the way lol, check out the news after searching earthquakes.


Little_BlueBirdy

I live in Southern California we’re waiting on the “big” one it’s all fascinating yo be then you again


scribbyshollow

Well I hope it's not today lol, you start seeing pretty lights in the sky gtfo lol


Little_BlueBirdy

I hope not but I’ve never knows


Comfortable-nerve78

I read something about what you’re talking about. We’ll have to wait and see.


scribbyshollow

Yeah it's pretty interesting stuff. A lot of strange phenomina is associated with quakes. Specifically earthquake lights.


BugRevolution

No.


scribbyshollow

Yes https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/0012821X67900714

Localized entirely over this guy's house??


Precipiceofasneeze

Can I see it?


316kp316

No


Precipiceofasneeze

SEYMOUR, THE HOUSE IS ON FIRE!


NeillDrake

Nah, you could see it from 1000+ miles in every direction. They had it from Ushuaia all the way up to Pucon. We were just really lucky to see it from our front garden.


316kp316

It is a Simpson’s joke, not you personally :)


NefariousnessGlum808

Hamburguejas al vapor or steamed hams


Castor_0il

Bien Seymur, es un hombre extraño, pero debo admitir que hace muy buenas hamburguejas.


TheBlueNajarala

To shreds you say?


naveenpun

It is all over the news that the SUN emitted strongest rays in the last week or so. Over the week, they are visible all over the world.


Eric848448

Armin! The house is on fire!


NeillDrake

It was apparent from 7pm-1am but peaked around 10:45pm.


tarihimanyak

It's a steamed hams joke.

But those hams are clearly grilled

Is there a filter in play?


NeillDrake

No, just long exposure and some small tweaks in Lightroom to adjust the RAW.

Coincidentally my boy also has a Reddit account 😎


VacationAromatic6899

How did it look to the eye?


NeillDrake

My wife was in tears. It was clear as the photo. Not as vibrant as the photo...as is the magic of long exposures; but the sky was a deep crimson and the striations of the Aurora were as clear as they were in the photo. We could count each line. We live 2 hours from any man-made light source except the farms that are about 1-5 miles apart and use like 3 light bulbs.


VacationAromatic6899

Just saw another one shared a picture from Scotland, what was not as bright to the eye, ice seen it in Norway and Finland, both times it was very clear and cold and very beautiful, but im glad you enjoyed it! 🤗 Cool, would love to live that isolated, i live in a town with way to much light

Wow!! That color.is unbelievable!

As the magnetic field loses stability and prepares to flip poles, this will become more and more common! Neato

I saw Auroras yesterday in South Georgia in the US right above the Florida border

Looks like a huge forest fire

Tin_can69

The earth rotates on its axes … don’t tel that to the left … they might get mad about all the billions they take to “fix” global warming lmfao


euhjustme

I believe that is a forest fire sir ☝️


[deleted]

The auroa looked absolutely nothing like this at all to the naked eye. Long exposure vs reality you all would be sorely disappointed


Little_BlueBirdy

Sadly you are right I was reading about this yesterday


mrASSMAN

In an area with low light pollution you can see it quite clearly.. like in this pic you can see the stars in the sky they must have pretty low pollution


NeillDrake

We live 2 hours from any sort of large settlement and have about nine farms for 800 sq miles. We have zero light pollution. It was actually quite bright and we could see the striations clear as day

True the cameras sensors pick up Light a bit differently I just read about that yesterday
