Beautiful Northern Lights right now!

Electrical disturbances on the Sun have provided fantastic viewing in the northern hemisphere. If you can, get out and take a look!

I live in Rochester, Ny. We're a bit south, and in the city as well, so not gonna see anything round here. Anyone wanna take some pics if they catch a glance?

i forget its name.... aurora borealis right??

 

[Nigel Goodwin]

Yes, that's correct, the southern version is the 'aurora australis', which is closer for you.

Check https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aurora_borealis

one of my life abitions is to see this with my own eyes

I looked now but saw nothing but Christmas lights making the clear sky glow.
I have seen beautiful moving and bright displays of Aurora Borealis a few times during my life. Best when away from the lights of civilization.

it is better in still-life or video with a sensitive imager ... unless you're very lucky to see a very powerful storm, the colors and details show up better to the unblinking eye of a machine than they do to man.

 

[Sceadwian]

I think it's less the colour depth and more the sheer grand scale of seeing shimmering lights that span the entire horrizon.

 

[audioguru]

I have seen the northern lights make many bright colours. Over the entire northern part of the sky.

Those of you living above 40N are fortunate to see such sights. I would love to experience this display.

Leave your guns at home and come up here to see the display.
