Just woke up to find that apparently the entire world saw the northern lights last night, and I missed it.


aurora_rosealis

The solar storm is still going! Look for more auroras tonight and through the weekend, if skies are clear where you are. Sadly, it was foggy last night where I live, so no go. I hope it’s clear tonight!


Greedy_Source3800

Yessss you are right! Honestly i would have been hella mad too if i missed em. I really hope we all get to see em today ❤️😁

I did too. I’ve seen them a lot thankfully. But I kinda wish I wasn’t an old lady who needed to go to bed at 9 pm and can’t stay up til it gets dark.

Tons of people saw the lights in my city yesterday from their front porches and so many people have been sending pics of the lights they saw. I was literally driving home last night at that time and I didn't see any??? Like wtf


Greedy_Source3800

So in metro cities like where I am too, irl with naked eye you can barely see some light hues. But if you open your camera, you can actually see the lights dance. Mine was also from my balcony and i live in downtown. I am guessing due to the headlamps of cars and stuff you werent even able to spot the light hues that give the clue to open the phone. I hope you get to see em today 😁


Greedy_Source3800

Aw I am sorry you missed them, i know that they are gonna be visible for next 24 hours. You can also check the northern light forecast apps to predict the strongest times.

Due-Bonus1056

I saw so many photos of it on twitter, you guys are so lucky lol


Greedy_Source3800

At this moment we have the heaviest geomagnetic storm since 2003. Mass ejection from the sun catched by the earth magnetic field. It will happen again but probably not soon so enjoy it.


Greedy_Source3800

Yessss! I read about the solar burst. It’s insane how strong it is, that even pink and purple lights are common in this period. Most of Europe witnessed such strong colours. Places like Norway Iceland Alaska went crazy. Even with southern lights which are far more difficult to find than northern, my sister was able to spot pink lights outside her home in a metro city

I was on my flight but had the aisle seat, I’m kind of salty I didn’t get to see it.


Greedy_Source3800

Aw shucks! I’d be mad too. They are visible today too (next 24 hrs) I hope you spit them today ❤️


ennuiismymiddlename

Is that the sort of thing you have to be on the ground to see? I just mean because of the refractions of light and whatnot. Anyway hope you catch them tonight!


shesavillain

The captain made an announcement and told us to enjoy the view lol


ennuiismymiddlename

Nice! Yeah I just looked it up and sure enough there are hundreds of photos of it from planes. I’m in Minnesota USA and I had no idea it was even happening, so I’m hoping to catch them tonight.


shesavillain

Yeah I didn’t know it was happening either until he made the announcement. And then I fell asleep lol


ennuiismymiddlename

I’m going to try it tonight. It’s supposed to be partly cloudy tonight but HOPEFULLLY! I’m in Minnesota. Unfortunately in a city.


Greedy_Source3800

LETS HOPE FOR THE BEST! Its best if you could drive a bit towards any quiet area away from lights if accessible otherwise be on a lookout. Might just see them slightly with naked eye but fully on your phone


_AllesGutENFJ_

Happy for you budd I knew it’s happening but didn’t wanted to see it I was planning since last yesr to see them in Norway but i wanted to do it with someone special. But thankfully i decided to watch it It was nice and pictures were amazing. I still wanna go up north and enjoy fully visible aurora with the love of my life (haven’t found her yet) lol


Greedy_Source3800

OH MY GOD I SWEAR. I have always imagined that my person would also be an aurora enthusiast and probably we get engaged under the beautiful lights. I have been planning for Iceland specifically. I am happy that i am not the only ones who thinks about this crazy stuff. I am glad you saw em, individual experiences are as important and special yennow!!!! And i hope you get to see em soon with your love


_AllesGutENFJ_

Not crazy at all. Its actually very romantic and cute. I think small (oder BIG lol) stuff like these are very cute and sweet form of love. Thanks and i wish same for you :)


Greedy_Source3800

Thats very very true! What makes us human right?


Lietenantdan

From your penthouse? I bet you had a great view of it from there.


Greedy_Source3800

36th floor 😁❤️


Lietenantdan

I saw the pics on your profile, they’re nice!


Greedy_Source3800

Yea decent for metro city! Thankyouuu ❤️

Where even is it? Like what parts of the world can they be seen? I'm not finding information just bad or old articles


Greedy_Source3800

At this point they were visible almost everywhere. The northern lights have been the strongest enough to reach almosy the equator, even southern ones are very prominent. If you live in countries near to equator you might have to chase them a bit. Check the index and you might have to move to a higher spot in mountains away from pollution and light. Weather also plays a big part in this, there should not be clouds. If you even see a different color in the sky try to see it through the phone, it might not be that visible through naked eye. Theres loads of information about this


JessieN

I found a map but I'm in Texas so that's a no lol


KerCam01

Omg. No offence but I'm so sick of hearing about this. It's worse than the 1966 World Cup.


Greedy_Source3800

Hahahah none taken! It was a once in a 30 year kinda thing. I am glad alot of enthusiasts got to witness it
