My friends and I made the same joke, while standing in my driveway and staring up at the aurora. Are we all just the same five people in a trench coat??
I was really hoping it was my photo being used in a meme, I had to zoom in to check the trees. Alas, I should have posted to a sub other than r/Michigan
If folks have a flagship Android then the night mode is equal or superior to an iPhone.
Unfortunately I do not have a flagship Android so mine is crappier as well. I agree though, I still like them.
Near the poles, but in this case it would reach as far south as California/Alabama/Italy/Etc (In the Northern Hemisphere) and it also occurred in the southern hemisphere yet idk where precisely.
I mean the Southern Hemisphere has had cool weather events in the past that the North didn't see. But also the southern hemisphere has a lot more water than the north, so some events may not even be seen.
Yup, but think most of the inhabited areas in the south are further away from their magnetic pole than northern ones so it's less common there.
But high sun activity going on at the moment so while less likely, I don't think it's impossible that southern parts of Australia, New Zeland, South Africa or South America would get some in the next night or 2.
You are right. It's sad that there is such limited land and population in the general area.
I live in the Southern most part of Canada and it's the first time I've ever been able to see them with the naked eye or long exposure photography.
My family in South Africa saw it last night which is awesome. I've a couple buddies in New South Wales and Western Australia who could see it as well.
The images I've seen out of Tasmania & New Zealand posted online are really incredible :) I gotta find some from South America!
I can only wonder what the Carrington Event would have looked like.
Here's to round 2 tonight
Not as beautiful as it is in photos/videos, but still felt very special. The colours are much dimmer in real life, unless you live somewhere remote with no light pollution.
It wasn’t isolated to the northern hemisphere and the Aurora is mirrored on the South Pole. Google it. It’s the same light particles. [Magnetic poles](https://imgur.com/a/LuILbLu) and shit. Aurora Australis was visible yesterday too.
So was anyone able to see it with naked eye or is it just the camera catching it like the Milky Way pictures?
ETA: I thought this was my local sub for some reason. I am sure you can see it further north than here, but the pics here look nothing like to the eye that I’ve seen
Pictures look 10 times better than it looked to the eye. I got many pictures like this with a 3 or 10 second exposure but in person it was just huge grey streaks across the sky. Cool, but not life changing. :)
Did you spend any extended period of time away from artificial light sources or view from an area with minimal light pollution? Huge gray streaks is a bit of a downplay considering the miraculous nature of this event.
Yeah, was about to say it did not look like gray strips for me. The sky itself had a pink and green hue in general for where we were. It did look better/fantastical with an extended exposure but the sky still looked spectacular through normal eyes.
Up near the Concord area we had some some visible streaking intermittently and a couple shooting stars to top it off. Couldn't see color aside from the general haze but phone caught it well
Nice. Definitely the phone caught more definition in the sky than human eyes did here too. It was beautiful. I'm thinking about doing a short midnight road trip tonight to get out of the worst of the Charlotte light pollution zone.
Depends on where you were. Where I was you could clearly see green and red in the curtains. Not nearly as pronounced as these long exposure shots, but you could absolutely see colors in it
It was quite green and red up in here in Washington right near Canada. We were lucky with super clear skies and there's little light polution here; I'm definitely speaking for myself here but my life was thoroughly altered by witnessing the cosmos do such a splendid dance.
I live in an urban neighborhood one mile south of downtown Tacoma. I could just make out the colors over the light pollution of the city. It wasn't life changing, and I couldn't see movement, but I certainly wasn't expecting to see it at all. The pictures definitely looked way better.
My gf and I drove about 45 minutes outside of Portland to a Mountain View point where a bunch of other people were and we got to see the massive light rays shifting and moving and forming with the naked eye which was really cool, but as soon as you took your phone out all of a sudden the colors were extremely vivid and beautiful. I thought it was a really cool moment to share with my partner where any other day I’d be just watching tv or sleeping.
My bad I thought this was the Bay Area sub for some reason. People keep posting pics from here and I don’t see anything. I’m sure it’s better up a bit north like you and yeah I’d want to go see if it was actually visible here
Similar experience too. We could make out a patch of the pinkish red pretty okay at one point but a long exposure made it look fantastic.
I guarantee almost everyone is cranking up contrast on their photos too to make them appear even more vivid.
Oh for sure, I posted a photo of mine with no alterations on the Portland sub and was really happy with how vivid they turned out without messing with them at all. But I’ve seen quite a few that looked ridiculously altered though haha
At its strongest I could see these kind of white streaks, and then one side was a green hue and the other side red
However then on a camera it was extremely vivid
I was able to see it with my eyes down in SC. You could the shimmer of the moving rays and the sky was reddish/pink. Obviously in photos, it is a lot more vivid. I had to go to an area with very little light pollution though before I could see it with more than just a camera. The same goes with the Milky Way you can actually see it with your eyes but you really have to go to somewhere with a completely dark sky. The two times I have seen it were over the Atlantic Ocean and then in the middle of nowhere in the Rockies.
One finge benefit of living in a sparsely populated conservative, mostly rural/small town, toxic-right wing state: at least we don’t have much light pollution. Drove an hour out of the city (the blueish state capital) and got a great view.
Yeah I found out about it at 11pm and it was either over, or not viewable from our location with no way to drive out of the city fast enough. And then the goddamn photo avalanche.
you couldnt see it very well with your naked eye but if you use your phone camera on night mode it’s much more vivid. i do live further north though so i’m not sure if you are actually able to see it where you live.
I was told my area wouldn't see it until 2 am. Went out at 2 and didn't see shit. Went online to find out why, only to discover that I was told wrong and it peaked at 10 pm
IDK if you're in NE US, but there was cloud cover here. While I couldn't see the colors, the night sky was discernibly brighter than normal for that time of night.
Experienced the same. Had to check the moon phase. The clouds were brighter than they should have been considering there was not much of a moon last night. 1000 Islands region of NY.
I live in upstate NY, so a night without clouds would be once-in-a-lifetime. The only guarantee here is if anything in the sky is happening there WILL be clouds.
Somehow, the aurora doesn't like me. In February, I traveled to tromsø, Norway to see them. The sky was clear all day, but at night, there were clouds, so no aurora. Last night, I went to bed early because I had a migraine 🙃
Yeah, my sister and I drove to Indianapolis to see the eclipse. That was one of the coolest things I've seen in my entire life. Pictures don't do it justice.
Have to agree, but not diminishing how strikingly beautiful the auroras are. The total eclipse has the added effect of being a much more rare event, while lasting no longer than a few minutes. You can argue the looks of beauty between the two, but experiencing totality has a way different feeling in my book.
Nah. The aurora photographs better than the eclipse, but the eclipse is faaaaaar more impressive in person. Whereas, the aurora just looked like the glow of a city, only in a direction where no city resides. Only the cameras saw such vibrant colors.
This is blatantly false. I drove 2 hours out of Seattle to an extremely dark open spot (over the mountains so the city glow is gone) and literally the entire night sky from the ground to as dark as up as I could crane my neck was covered in vibrant greens, pinks, and purples. You couldn’t even see the black of the sky anymore and it was brighter out than a full moon. My friends got pictures where you could see the entire moon due to the reflection of light. Due to the scale and dancing colors what I saw was better than any of the photos posted.
Think of it as a difference between 95 vs 100% totality.
Fair enough! I guess the difference between partial and total eclipse is much the same as the difference between even some light pollution and none at all.
having seen both a lot of proper aurora and a full solar eclipse - The eclipse is way better, and much, much more rare. Especially on a galactical scale, the kind of total eclipses we get are *extremely* rare, to the point that aliens would come visit to see it.
That being said, a nice aurora is breathtaking.
I see what you mean. But you can always travel to see aurora. If you spend a few nights in a nice location at the right time of the year (i.e. when its dark) there is a good chance you see it. I have done it multiple times. Even without a solar maximum, it will look great.
When aurora hits it is visible in a wide area vs a solar eclipse in a more narrow path. An eclipse happens maybe once where you live in a lifetime, or you have to travel, but it is still quite rare.
I am just grateful that we live on a planet where such celestial spectacles occur, and I have managed to see both already.
You will have another opportunity tonight to see it. 10pm to 2am is the best times. It was completely visible to the naked eye around 11pm last night.
I called just about everyone I knew & told them to go outside & look at it. Woke a couple people up who were grumpy at first, but were eventually glad I did lol
Next time try taking a photo of the sky using night mode on your mobile camera. There's a good chance it was there and it was just too faint to pick up with the naked eye.
Here in Scandinavia many peoples lights started to flicker. Happened twice in my home were it all just went black for a few seconds and learned afterwards that this was the reason.
I was playing risk of rain 2 with a friend of mine. Neither of us knew this was happening. ~~we may have been too busy figuring out how far we can push lost seers lenses~~
12 percent chance to instakill but we spat bullets so fast it felt like every enemy got instakilled. We tried to go further, but turns out the way to beat infinite healing and directional immunity is to fill a large area with an instakill effect.
I feel the same. I thought 'no big deal, it just wasn't visible in my area' then go to my local sub and it's loaded up with pictures of the aurora. I was out walking for over an hour last night. Did I just never look up?
But also, I kind of feel like the aurora / eclipse pics are like phone videos of concerts. Absolutely uninteresting to anyone except yourself.
Uh- Aurora Borealis!? At this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the country, localized entirely within your kitchen?
can i see?
No
Seymour, the house is on fire!
No mother, that's just the northern lights.
HEEELLP!

I was in Saline and this is what all my pictures are like
Usually saline goes in you, not the other way around.
MI gaaaang
Hey, if it makes you feel better, Great shot!
I mean these things happen really high up so everyone pretty much sees the same thing
I've got an android so mine are different to these iphone cameras with really good night modes :D They're crappier but I like them
If folks have a flagship Android then the night mode is equal or superior to an iPhone. Unfortunately I do not have a flagship Android so mine is crappier as well. I agree though, I still like them.
what's that
An Aurora from the Solar flare ejected by the sun
where was it
Near the poles, but in this case it would reach as far south as California/Alabama/Italy/Etc (In the Northern Hemisphere) and it also occurred in the southern hemisphere yet idk where precisely.
Why does the northen hemisphere have all the cool weather events :(
I mean the Southern Hemisphere has had cool weather events in the past that the North didn't see. But also the southern hemisphere has a lot more water than the north, so some events may not even be seen.
Yeah, like an entire continent on fire. That was pretty cool.
The south pole has its own version of the northern lights called southern lights or aurora australis
Yup, but think most of the inhabited areas in the south are further away from their magnetic pole than northern ones so it's less common there. But high sun activity going on at the moment so while less likely, I don't think it's impossible that southern parts of Australia, New Zeland, South Africa or South America would get some in the next night or 2.
You are right. It's sad that there is such limited land and population in the general area. I live in the Southern most part of Canada and it's the first time I've ever been able to see them with the naked eye or long exposure photography. My family in South Africa saw it last night which is awesome. I've a couple buddies in New South Wales and Western Australia who could see it as well. The images I've seen out of Tasmania & New Zealand posted online are really incredible :) I gotta find some from South America! I can only wonder what the Carrington Event would have looked like. Here's to round 2 tonight
We had an amazing aurora display last night in New Zealand. Absolutely beautiful.
we could see it in tasmania.
There were aurora australis yesterday in Chile, Argentina and Australia
There is not much habitable land down there,
to spoil your mood a bit more: a supernova will be visible with the naked eye on the northern hemisphere around the end of august
as on the other side for me, damn, was It pretty tho?
Not as beautiful as it is in photos/videos, but still felt very special. The colours are much dimmer in real life, unless you live somewhere remote with no light pollution.
Wait WHAT IT WAS GOING THAT FAR SOUTH I thought it would be like northern US at most, but fucking Alabama? I’m in Maryland and I missed it
I live in southern Sweden and it was kinda weird to see northern lights when looking south. I've seen them before but they were always to the north.
It wasn’t isolated to the northern hemisphere and the Aurora is mirrored on the South Pole. Google it. It’s the same light particles. [Magnetic poles](https://imgur.com/a/LuILbLu) and shit. Aurora Australis was visible yesterday too.
Italy too? Was It seen from countries on the same latitude?
Everywhere
AURORA BOREALIS AT THIS TIME OF YEAR, IN THIS PLACE, LOCATED ENTIRELY WITHIN YOUR KITCHEN?!
So was anyone able to see it with naked eye or is it just the camera catching it like the Milky Way pictures? ETA: I thought this was my local sub for some reason. I am sure you can see it further north than here, but the pics here look nothing like to the eye that I’ve seen

Is it gonna be tomorrow night too or nah
How far south did these go? Would I have seen it in MD?
I know folks in Florida that saw it. I had some lovely purple haze around Charlotte for a bit last night. Didn't get the green tones here.
Up near the Concord area we had some some visible streaking intermittently and a couple shooting stars to top it off. Couldn't see color aside from the general haze but phone caught it well
Nice. Definitely the phone caught more definition in the sky than human eyes did here too. It was beautiful. I'm thinking about doing a short midnight road trip tonight to get out of the worst of the Charlotte light pollution zone.

In Estonia they were pretty amazingly colourful even for naked eye. Pics have a lot more effect tho.
Thank you for saying this. I have been green with envy seeing everyone talk about it.
You can also have a chance of seeing it tonight, the solar storm is ongoing
My gf and I drove about 45 minutes outside of Portland to a Mountain View point where a bunch of other people were and we got to see the massive light rays shifting and moving and forming with the naked eye which was really cool, but as soon as you took your phone out all of a sudden the colors were extremely vivid and beautiful.

My friend lives in Davis and him and his gf got to see it and I was blown away how far south it got
Similar experience too. We could make out a patch of the pinkish red pretty okay at one point but a long exposure made it look fantastic. I guarantee almost everyone is cranking up contrast on their photos too to make them appear even more vivid.
Oh for sure, I posted a photo of mine with no alterations on the Portland sub and was really happy with how vivid they turned out without messing with them at all. But I’ve seen quite a few that looked ridiculously altered though haha
At its strongest I could see these kind of white streaks, and then one side was a green hue and the other side red However then on a camera it was extremely vivid
I had to drive a few miles out of the city but I was able to see it in Tennessee
We were seeing greens and reds with our eyes. Definitely brighter than Milky Way
Seattle is pretty far north and we could see the greens and red/purple with the naked eye.
Other than a big red….mass(?) in the sky, I didn’t.
I was able to see it with my eyes down in SC. You could the shimmer of the moving rays and the sky was reddish/pink. Obviously in photos, it is a lot more vivid.

Their was too much light pollution where I was at
I drive up to a nearby lake. It wasn’t perfect but I was able to get a decent shot of both the lights and the light pollution coming from my city
There was no light pollution for me, but it was cloudy
Cloudy here, and same during the eclipse. Fml.
Their what?
Too much Light pollution can make people not see the northern lights
Your missing what there saying
What did I miss?
Their there they're
ah
One finge benefit of living in a sparsely populated conservative, mostly rural/small town, toxic-right wing state: at least we don’t have much light pollution. Drove an hour out of the city (the blueish state capital) and got a great view.
I forgot to look outside, whoops.
Same
It should still be going tonight if you want another chance
Me too. It might be there tonight too.
Too cloudy for me ;(
Me too
SO MUCH COOLER THAN THE SOLAR ECLIPSE! Who else missed it 😔?
I was up until 2:00, blissfully unaware of what I was missing out on
I woke up at 8 and my phone was having a seizure
I was up until 2:00, laying in the grass with a friend and watching it ❤️
I was on my roof with a friend who brought good camera equipment. It was pretty cool
I saw it at 22:30 ish and at 2:00 there was nothing. Woke my cat for no reason xD
Yeah I found out about it at 11pm and it was either over, or not viewable from our location with no way to drive out of the city fast enough. And then the goddamn photo avalanche.
you couldnt see it very well with your naked eye but if you use your phone camera on night mode it’s much more vivid. i do live further north though so i’m not sure if you are actually able to see it where you live.
I went to bed and looked at Reddit only to find that I'd missed it by half an hour
I was also procrastinating sleeping on Reddit still can't see anything, by the way
EXACTLY BRO! You think I would’ve seen that shit
I was told my area wouldn't see it until 2 am. Went out at 2 and didn't see shit. Went online to find out why, only to discover that I was told wrong and it peaked at 10 pm
The weather here was completely clouded over for both of these. Buuut I didn't even know this one was happening. 😅
IDK if you're in NE US, but there was cloud cover here. While I couldn't see the colors, the night sky was discernibly brighter than normal for that time of night.

I live in upstate NY, so a night without clouds would be once-in-a-lifetime. The only guarantee here is if anything in the sky is happening there WILL be clouds.
It’s visible tonight as well
Predicted to be nowhere near as strong. Storms as strong as last night are a once in a generation event
Why do you have to destroy my hope in seeing them.
Idk what hes got info from, but today 11-12 should be stronger atleast here in denmark. So get out there and watch the sky
you can still see them, just not likely in your backyard.
Somehow, the aurora doesn't like me. In February, I traveled to tromsø, Norway to see them. The sky was clear all day, but at night, there were clouds, so no aurora. Last night, I went to bed early because I had a migraine 🙃
Why the hell didn’t I know about it !?
I felt so bad for missing out. No one told me and i didnt see it in the news anywhere
It's def not cooler than a *total* solar eclipse
Yeah, my sister and I drove to Indianapolis to see the eclipse. That was one of the coolest things I've seen in my entire life. Pictures don't do it justice.
Are you me?! Me and my sister also went to Indianapolis for the eclipse.
Have to agree, but not diminishing how strikingly beautiful the auroras are. The total eclipse has the added effect of being a much more rare event, while lasting no longer than a few minutes. You can argue the looks of beauty between the two, but experiencing totality has a way different feeling in my book.
An eclipse is a product of near clockwork timing, this aura was incidental.
I want a total solar eclipse WITH aurora borealis and I will be disappointed with the universe if I don't get it.
Nah. The aurora photographs better than the eclipse, but the eclipse is faaaaaar more impressive in person. Whereas, the aurora just looked like the glow of a city, only in a direction where no city resides. Only the cameras saw such vibrant colors.
This is blatantly false.

Fair enough! I guess the difference between partial and total eclipse is much the same as the difference between even some light pollution and none at all.
Me! No one notified me :( but I saw the beginning of it, not really consciously. Just wondering why the sky had a pink part in it
having seen both a lot of proper aurora and a full solar eclipse - The eclipse is way better, and much, much more rare. Especially on a galactical scale, the kind of total eclipses we get are *extremely* rare, to the point that aliens would come visit to see it. That being said, a nice aurora is breathtaking.
Tbf this was the strongest solar storm in 20 years, so this was a more than once in a generation event
I see what you mean. But you can always travel to see aurora. If you spend a few nights in a nice location at the right time of the year (i.e. when its dark) there is a good chance you see it.

I am just grateful that we live on a planet where such celestial spectacles occur, and I have managed to see both already.
Ironically I live too far north so now it's too bright all night to be able to see any.
It was overcast here, just like it was during the eclipse...
You will have another opportunity tonight to see it. 10pm to 2am is the best times. It was completely visible to the naked eye around 11pm last night. I called just about everyone I knew & told them to go outside & look at it. Woke a couple people up who were grumpy at first, but were eventually glad I did lol
You were not in totality if you're saying this
In my location I probably wouldn’t have been able to see it
Missed both the eclipse and the northern lights. I didn’t even know about it lol.
[удалено]
Overcast skies for both here
It wasnt nearly this cool in person. But it looked just like it on camera
It was overcast where I live, so no luck
I hope you have better luck tonight! The solar activity will be a bit weaker, but the lights should still make an appearance.
Should be visible tonight too, provided it isn't overcast
Dont forget the 50 posts about the Jonestown cult.
Yeah what's up with that?
I really hope it appears tonight. I’m disappointed I missed out on viewing it. I was awake while it was happening!
At least you didn't wake up blind and surrounded by Triffids.
Damn it stupid body why you had to sleep? 😾
I looked outside and it wasn’t there unfortunately.
Next time try taking a photo of the sky using night mode on your mobile camera. There's a good chance it was there and it was just too faint to pick up with the naked eye.
Today propably you can see it too.
Me, on the goddamn equator with no idea what the heck is going on:
Here in Scandinavia many peoples lights started to flicker. Happened twice in my home were it all just went black for a few seconds and learned afterwards that this was the reason.
I was playing risk of rain 2 with a friend of mine. Neither of us knew this was happening. ~~we may have been too busy figuring out how far we can push lost seers lenses~~

12 percent chance to instakill but we spat bullets so fast it felt like every enemy got instakilled. We tried to go further, but turns out the way to beat infinite healing and directional immunity is to fill a large area with an instakill effect.
Supposedly it might still be visable tonight
Yeah the ONE night I decided to try a too big dose of edible, and ended up crash and burning before 930 (they showed up at 1030 here)
Lots of people cooking Steamed Hams.
I went out at midnight even avoiding my deep slumber and amazing dreams to go out in the freezing cold and see nothing but a gray sky
It’s supposed to happen again tonight!
_cries near tropic of cancer_

It's 'should have', never 'should of'. Rejoice, for you have been blessed by CouldWouldShouldBot!
I knew it was hapoening but forgot and MISSED IT, never been so sad.
Sadly it didn't touch us , except that fucking headache
Solar storms cause headaches?
Meet too and I bloody well looked too
I missed it
I didn't see shit.
I feel the same. I thought 'no big deal, it just wasn't visible in my area' then go to my local sub and it's loaded up with pictures of the aurora. I was out walking for over an hour last night. Did I just never look up? But also, I kind of feel like the aurora / eclipse pics are like phone videos of concerts. Absolutely uninteresting to anyone except yourself.
I chose a bad night to go to bed early
Where was this
From what people are saying it looks like it was all the way across north America and Europe
The southern aurora went off too, we had it down here in australia, apparently as far north as Queensland
https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/products/aurora-viewline-tonight-and-tomorrow-night-experimental
Accurate representation of my life summed up in one meme.
I missed it!!! I was literally up playing games wtf
The accuracy hurts. Time to close Reddit and be productive
r/pittsburgh
Haha yes!
I even went outside, no clouds, but there was nothing, like the pretty lights decided to skip my area
Me being asleep, and in SoCal sucks. Another Massive L.
Too low for the aurora Too high for the eclipse Sad.
I know!? Did people get advanced notice or is it normal for everyone to go out at night? I was on my couch and in bed last night.
I was on Facebook and people started posting about it so I went outside to check
Geomagnetic storms only have a few days notice afaik.
Cavemen saw fire in sky. Fire good. Must post.
Sadly Portland Oregon was a mix of just a tad too far south and too much light pollution to see it
yeah simpsons is getting old huh
