Trailer with beautiful sky

Trailer with beautiful sky
For the first time in my life, I finally got to see northern lights! I am so excited! These are all taken at my son's house, where there is no light pollution. From my apartment, it was impossible. I live in town, so there are bright lights everywhere and only the faintest pale purple was visible. In these out-of-town photos, the light is brighter and pink more saturated than in reality.

Outstanding shot! Don and I just got back from Armonk, NY and were also fortunate to see them. It was the first time since 2003 I've seen them. :) Congrats!

Yes, it was also very visible in Germany and should still be very visible next weekend: www.swpc.noaa.gov
German news reports say that this is the strongest solar storm in the last 20 years: www.tagesschau.de/inland/polarlichter-deutschland-104.html

Unfortunately, I've never had the opportunity to see something like this live myself, as I live in the middle of Hamburg, where it's far too bright at night, but there are lots of webcams of very lonely areas on www.foto-webcam.eu, for example - and almost all of them looked very pink last night, beautiful!
Many of them from last night can be seen on www.foto-webcam.eu/webcam/bestof

A wonderful photo! Regrettably I wasn't aware of this last night. I am currently in an area with low light pollution but maybe still to far in the south. This evening I will be back in a big city where I don't expect it to be visible.

Unfortunately, I doubt it was visible in Italy. Thank you, Guido!

Very impressive. The location is even further south than Germany. And even here, it's very rare to see something like this.

Diane Putnam club has replied to jeybee68 club
I had read something about the reason for the uneven locations of light. It had to do with the strength of the storm's explosions, how far into space they traveled, and so on. Thanks, jeybee!

Lucky lady Diane, Where I live I'm too far North of the South Pole to see these, 27.5 degrees S. I remember seeing them one evening the year I started school when the area I grew up in was at the northern edge of Sydney.

I'm a real stranger to how it all works, having never had to look for these lights! This was probably a once-in-a-life experience for me.

Where I grew up in Sydney, approx 34 deg south I've seen, when a kid, the red glow when places further south have seen the waving colours that you did. I live at 27 deg south which is too far north. The auroras are mostly seen in the north and south polar regions. Sometimes the sun gets a bit 'angry' and sends out more magnetic fields the auroras are seen further from the polar regions.

It is very beautiful!
I see that at lower latitudes it turns pink.

I love the camping trailer and the Northern Lights!

Oh - so that's why it's so pink! I didn't know that - I guess I could have looked it up. Some was green, also - the "standard" color, I guess. Thank you, Kiiti!
