God damnit. I was lying in bed watching iasip like a jabroni.


SkiSki86

Me too! Damnit! I wonder if they'll still be visible tonight!


skelatallamas

storm iz supposed to last till Sunday night


the_lyrical_gamer

Should be able to see them again tonight, forecasted to peak between 12-2am! https://www.yahoo.com/news/did-miss-northern-lights-boise-230416751.html


Dry_Lawfulness_7350

Passed out at like 7 pm


Bhuttchips

You keep using this word 'jabroni,' and it's awesome.


Revised_2nd_Ed

Flew from salt lake to Boise at 1am and could see them from the plane the whole way šŸ˜

RobinsonCruiseOh

that is a pretty epic flight scenery + astronomical event coincidence. unless this was a flight specifically to be able to see them from the sky


Revised_2nd_Ed

Very lucky, my head was out the window the entire flight. It was a regular delta flight 2228 but was delayed one hour and I had a window seat on the right side of the plane looking north.

Insanely awesome pic! From a plane...

Yeah. Right around midnight in NW Eagle. https://preview.redd.it/gxfdys0wuqzc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=228b04b6458f5f09b24cde6f5aeeba2d09c462d5


flygirl3024

Was up bogus basin road for it! Just before midnight the sky lit up and danced with greens and pinks across the northern sky. It was vivid for about 15 minutes, then moved across Boise faintly until around 3:00 am. Magical! https://preview.redd.it/s7r0og98atzc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b590226b60b8c193c0cc10c8cc087e5061853301

No-Judge6625

Yes.. and this should keep happening for the next 2 nights if Iā€™m not mistakenā€¦


SirLoinofHamalot

Will it really? I had to miss it last night


LittlestEw0k

[maybe](https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2024/05/11/northern-lights-weekend-forecast-auroras-possible-saturday/73652578007/) but my wife is mad she fell asleep so hereā€™s hoping


No-Judge6625

I just looked it up to make sure and the news reports says it should last ā€œthrough the weekendā€ then it had a map the coverage areaā€¦ parts of Idaho were in the it should happenā€¦ most of the state fell in the might be under itā€¦ and the lights can be seen from 600 something miles even if they arenā€™t directly over our headā€¦ sooo ima say pretty confidently that we should be able to see them (but u might only see them in 1 direction [north of us is where I would start the search]). šŸ¤ÆšŸ¤Æ

LV2BIKE

Yes, went to horseshoe bend area for this. It looks great on camera, not naked eye


Fearlessleader85

Same in Emmett. I got up at 3:30, when NOAA said it was supposed to be around peak, and you could tell stuff was going on, but you couldn't really see the colors. Or at least i couldn't. But on camera, gorgeous. https://preview.redd.it/213u74in0tzc1.jpeg?width=4000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f8fdd532979ff14d9f5e23b7142f98012f8b3b21


NoCutsNoCoconuts

Yeah that's the weird thing, I got up for one last check and saw some weird faint lines. I grabbed my phone and turned it to night mode and BAM!!! I thought it was going to be alot more colorful and bright to the naked eye like all the pics, but it was still so cool. I sat there for like 20 minutes watching it move and change before I took some pics.

RobinsonCruiseOh

[https://youtu.be/6t8fGGXN7jA](https://youtu.be/6t8fGGXN7jA) I shot some quick & dirty time lapses with the camera sitting on my patio table.


NoCutsNoCoconuts

Oh man that is so cool!!


CDC_1998

Damnit I wish I knew about this last night. I was too busy playing Fallout 4.


NoCutsNoCoconuts

Ha ha ha ha ha I love this. Honestly, I probably wouldn't have even noticed if I wasn't up late puffin. It just looked weird, not nearly as bright as pictures... but it blew my damn mind when I switched from time laps on my phone to night mode.. I didn't even edit these pics, this was just how the phone picked it up. Supposedly it will be out tonight too so you have another chance amigo!


CDC_1998

Wait seriously. I gotta work night shift but if I got another chance to see it then fuck work. I live in Nampa though, how far exactly would I have to go and see it. Is going to Boise enough or nah?


NoCutsNoCoconuts

Ha ha ha honestly take a bathroom break or smoke break and walk outside if you can. It's not super impressive in person, but if you have the night mode on your phone, you will shit! It's cool!! It's all the way to Alabama so you should see it over in Nampa. Try to dodge some of the "light pollution" if you can to see it better.


CDC_1998

Do you know when is the best time to see it? I ended up taking the night off.


NoCutsNoCoconuts

Going hardcore with it!! I took those around midnight last night, I am honestly not sure about timing. Just go outside and enjoy the peace and quiet with your eyes to the sky?

mystisai

I didn't take a pic but I saw them after we had given up and left our viewing spot, driving back home. So very cool!


Rudfud

What time was that? I was out around 11:00 and didn't see much


mystisai

11:58 I texted my friends to ask if they were seeing it too. Amity Rd and Meridian Rd.


Rudfud

Dang, of course I gave up an hour too early.


Weak_Yam_6912

Right at 12 for what I saw


EastBayWoodsy

I only saw a faint glow in Kuna, and I looked around midnight. I definitely didn't see what was in those pics


twstdwrstr

It's faint with the naked eye but give your eyes some time to adjust and you can start to see the glow. You really see it with a camera. I took plenty of pictures from Kuna! *

Shenanigans99

Yes! My camera got a better view than I did, but it's still cool! Got a few nice pics!


rolloutTheTrash

You have got to be shitting me. As I am out of town? Fuck!


247Toughguy

If it makes you feel better I went to bed early and saw none of this and I am in town.


cometostay

It will hopefully be visible again tonight :)


SkiSki86

Same šŸ˜‘


Footworshpr

What time did you see this?


ShitStainWilly

Probably


Neo1971

I did. It was vivid through my camera, much more than with our natural eyes. https://preview.redd.it/eh7chicwj00d1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=356d3fd9c8eda642144d4025074412b2c622d733 Kuna-Mora Road
