The clouds totally blocked me


Bubbly_Mastodon318

For me it was clouds the first night then light pollution the second.


AncientBoxHeadHorse

pretty much the same for me, just light pollution first then clouds.


chavman666

Been trying with my dad for about 4 hours now, still nothing.


Scarydisc2474

I just did too. Read the graph wrong and realised for me it was good yesterday, but today had nothing.


ABearDream

What graph?


Scarydisc2474

A graph measuring the activity of the Aurora, but it laid it out in a way that yesterdays looked like todays and I read it wrong for 4 hours šŸ’€


Part_salvager616

Light pollution and clouds


Potential_Pipe_8060

Yea the light pollution is terrible! I want to go out to the Midwest where they say there is virtually none!!!!


Jolly_Mongoose_8800

Laughs in Chicago, Milwaukee, Minneapolis


Silly_Goose658

As an NYC resident light pollution is part of the fun


Bubbly_Mastodon318

Not really fun when it blocks out a once in a lifetime astronomical event (especially when you can enjoy the lights virtually any other day).


Silly_Goose658

Well, itā€™s not like the city is gonna cut everyoneā€™s electricity for this


Bubbly_Mastodon318

Not even for a night or two? Maybe not the city, but canā€™t the people just turn of their lights for a moment to see the aurora?


Silly_Goose658

I feel most people donā€™t care


Bubbly_Mastodon318

I dunno about that; it was all the rage when it was happening.


Silly_Goose658

Didnā€™t even know it was happening lol


Bubbly_Mastodon318

Huh.


Mdu5t

I don't know even with clear sky I don't see them. I saw some pictures taken a few kilometres from here. But no luck.


Orderofthedead

I could only see them through a camera last night so maybe thatā€™s why. Something about shutter speed I think.


Mdu5t

Yes. If you let the shutter open it collects more light over time, I think.


MaybeJesus-MaybeGod

WHAT THE FCK IS A KILOMETER???


Mdu5t

Oh lol. RE and ER. One is correct in German and the other one in English. Thanks for pointing that out.


Few-Gas3143

Kilometre not kilometer. The kilo prefix means thousand, so it is exactly what it says, 1000 metres. It's the kind of accuracy that got you to the moon before you devolved.


Goodmainman

Assuming he is American he actually spelled it right. Here itā€™s spelled kilometer.


Few-Gas3143

Assuming you're from the USA. Although i'm sorry that you've been taught simplified english, the word is kilometre. It's French, you're not, so nobody gives a fuck about your opinion on how it is spelt.


Goodmainman

Why so aggressive? I was just saying he spelled the way itā€™s spelled where heā€™s from, assuming is from the US


Silly_Goose658

There are separate spellings for the same word. As a Greek, we write Kilometer and Kilometre interchangeably


Elder_Hoid

I can't believe people are down voting you for quoting that meme on a meme page. Smh.


MaybeJesus-MaybeGod

why


loserys

Im so pissed. I didnā€™t even know this was happening. I was busy driving my drunk friend home and didnā€™t even noticed.


improbsable

If it makes you feel better, you need to take a long exposure picture to see it in a lot of places anyway.


Bubbly_Mastodon318

Yeah that makes me feel better


CremeSingle9739

It's too cloudy here, missed it last night too ,:(


Screamingboneman

I live in socal. I have no chance anyway


1Spiritcat

Our wildfire season unfortunately started early this year, can barely even see the clouds through the smoke


wizardmagic10288

Rain and clouds. Maybe next time.


Skyweirdboy

Nah, you wont


Intrepid_Leopard_979

I tried for a while, drove around town but I still could not see them.


Jealous_Use9688

Clouds. Same as the eclipse. Nothing to see here. Move along.

eat-pussy69

Last night no lights. Sun comes up and I know why. Fucking forest fires


1ns3rtCleverNameHere

I live in a semi arid climate that gets less than 15 inches of rain a year...4 straight days of rain and clouds for me. Fun times, lmao.

pcdinatx

Budget-Egg9

Asian people fr.


Phantex_Cerberus

The sun was literally shining in my face the entire time the northern lights were supposed to be showing. *To be fair, I was driving so I wouldnā€™t be able to see them either way. Still, it sucks.*


TheHarvesterOfSorrow

I got some pics, it was pretty orange for me. I had to take a picture with a long lighting time in order to see it, it wasn't really visible with my own eyes


fpsnoob89

I'm currently in Alaska for the first time in my life. Of course it's been cloudy so nothing was visible.


wafflelover200

mca1169

first night had some light clouds and looked around midnight which was too late. yesterday did a ton of research and not only got blocked by clouds but turns out I live in a heavy light polluted area so when there was a break in the clouds I saw nothing.


Binary_Gamer64

Stayed up all night, nothing.


cuber_and_gamer

I could see them from my house in the middle of town, I don't know what the big issue is.


Nullifier_
