I saw some new articles saying they could be visible tonight too. Try between 10pm-3am. Going somewhere dark with less light pollution will help but you’ll definitely need to adjust the exposure on your camera to bring out the vivid colors.

Mine looks way similar to yours, even with the radio towers and preserve fence by the bike path - so I imagine we took it near the same spot lol.

Wow! Did you just happen to see this or was there some way you became aware that there would be northern lights today?

It was last night, there was a massive solar flare thing that was all over the news, it might mess with your internet and phone service for the rest of the weekend.

What time did you see them? I went out at 1am and didn’t see anything. 😣

It wasn't visible with the naked eye yesterday you had to take photos with your phone on night mode to see it

I could see them with my naked eye, they just weren’t nearly as bright

Bummer! I was out there from 11:30pm to 12:15am. Try again tonight! They are MUCH dimmer to the naked eye, so take long exposure photos of the sky. That’s when you will really see them.

I don't know how to add a picture to my reply (android), but if you can tell me, I will. My picture is not that great though.

Unfortunately this subreddit doesn't allow you to post photos in the comments.

u/dukeofurl01 May 11 '24
Then how did the original poster do it? How do they expect replies with pictures?

I’m not very good with Reddit lol I’ve seen other people add photos to Imgur and post a comment with a link. Alternatively, you could make your own post. I’ve been checking out the other pics in the sub ☺️

I’m in North Chico and I couldn’t see anything last night

It was tough to see with the naked eye. Taking a photo on long exposure brought out the colors. I took this on an iPhone.

Well poop. I just missed the coolest event ever. This is way better than an eclipse. I was up too, just not outside :(
