So I live in North Carolina these days and I saw the Northern lights for the first time. A simple point and click with my iPhone.

 

 

im sure other people saw them last night  so feel free to share some photos if you did!

Fat chance here in Glenfield, the night sky is lit up 365 days a year with the man made version.

Reckon I need to drive or cycle out somewhere much darker.

I missed it, i didn’t know it was happening either. Whoops.

Also guilty of this? Was there a load of Thai people appearing with them also?

Hopefully  a chance tonight, for all us twa@ts that missed it...I'll see if I can stay awake!!!

Space chemtrails. Stay indoors.

I think it’s wonderful that so many people saw it and I didn’t.

For fans of outdated cultural references like me (I mean I'm a fan of them, I've never been a cultural reference) there's lots of fun Day of The Triffids stuff going round.

 

I did love that book though

It just looks like clouds unless you’re in the arctic north but shows up on your phone camera in a way it doesnt to the naked eye. I’m sure it’s genuinely impressive if you see the real thing but the couple of times I’ve seen it I can barely make it out until I point my phone camera at it

It was only just visible in Blaby. Shows up well on a camera phone though.

I'm pretty sure we will see more geomagnetic storm-related fiction in future, given how much damage it can do to our digital society these days.

 

But on topic, it's a truly amazing phenomenon.

It was quite exciting. Hope we see them again tonight now I know what to look for. It got quite bright for a few minutes.
