Most of Europe == Not covered by light polution. (and specific areas) (it's orange outside and it's sodium vapor related) edit: kind of whish I was at my parent's place. It's a lot less poluted but no go here; nw europe densly populated, we also have the artificial sunrise here 24/7 by means of greenhouses.

Even in the light polluted London you can still see it, even if it's faint.

It’s just about visible (much more so through an iPhone camera) in central London right now

This shows a scientific view of it: https://earth.nullschool.net/#current/space/surface/level/an...

Does it shift around? It's quite absent in the western US and Canada right now:

Of course, it's still a beautiful sunny warm day too where I am so it'll be 5 hours or so before it's dark enough to see it.

I live in rural very northern England. It’s incredible, clear with the naked eye. iPhone 14 camera with 3s exposure is out of this world (pun intended, but misleading)

Similar for me down south too (Cambridge). My first sighting and it is superb.

I'm near Bristol. It's still absolutely stunning. It's not just to the north, either - it's everywhere.
