Absolutely gorgeous!!

I’m loving how green everything is in California too. Normally the hills around my house are perennially brown. Everything is green as green can get.

Can I see it?

how many fishes you found?

Thank God, I was almost worried this comment wouldn't be here. I'm glad Reddit didn't let me down.

Can anyone easily explain how this happens?

I’ve done it 3 times. The 4th time I was too out of shape and had to go back. :’(

I've hiked up to the peak before, it's a fun hike!

One of my favorite memories is being at flattop and laying down in the snow, looking up at the Aurora right above me

Localized entirely in your kitchen?!

I soldered the PCBs for UNH’s instrumentation on ACES II. Small world lol

Beautiful!!!!! What a great shot!!!

See the northern lights.

OP, what did they look like to the naked for you?

I was a little underwhelmed when I saw them in the Norway but once I saw the pictures I took I was blown away by the spectrum of lights my camera caught compared to my eyes.

These were rare when I was there 20 years ago. Are they more common now?

I was just planning a vacation in Sicily, going to do a guided tour up there, certainly looking forward to it.

I was reading recently about Tom Thomson the Canadian painter, who painted the Northern Lights a few times. Then on Sunday there was a nature show on TV showing images of them from the Yukon. I was thinking it must be amazing so see them and literally thinking about the lights all weekend.

Then I see a story saying they were visible from Ireland, there are pictures from Sligo which is nearby to where I live. I was outside at night but didn't notice anything. And the articles say, as has been noted here, that they were seen better on photos than with the named eye.

I don't get this? Whenever I take photos at night the photos generally pick up LESS of the various atmospheric effects in the sky than what my naked eye sees. Also, how do people know to take photos if the phenomenon if you can't see it with the naked eye?

The artist I was reading about always worked from life in the wilderness so I'm guessing you can see it. I'm so annoyed, it was like the universe was giving me signs about it and I was supposed to see it but I missed it.

Be handy if they could tell us ahead of time when it's going to happen. After the other night a bunch of websites showing the photos said it could happen again the next night but it was cloudy, as it almost always is in February in Ireland.

Thanks for the new homescreen pic lol

I said the same thing too! Ive been taking photos of them for a while and I thought them dancing and being very vivid is a myth. I also heard from alot of long time northern locals that that sunday night northern lights was just especially strong. The colors were really vivid. It was so strong it was reported to be seen all the way down to Colorado

Sorry, to answer your question—-the colors were so visible to the eyes we joked that it reminded us of Windows XP screensaver

Ive been taking photos of Northern lights lots of times with my iphone and i understand what you mean. I had to take photos to be able to clearly find them. That night was different. I thought it was a myth how they dance and very vivid, but that night i felt like my phone didnt do justice on how vivid they were.

At this time of year!?
