#272I live in a relatively big city where light pollution is obviously a huge thing. But the aurora was so strong that even we were able to make it out, although not as intensively beautiful as on all those webcam feeds
Re: Most of Europe is glowing pink under the aurora
#273I am sad that I missed it. I there some sort of forecast service that tells when there is a good chance to see an aurora in a particular place?
If you go to https://spaceweather.com they have a link for text alerts when these things are about to happen. That is one way. I visit that site and a similar site for CME and space weather information: https://www.spaceweatherlive.com There is a lot to see and to follow. I just came back inside after snapping pics since just after dark here in N Texas. We had a good show that started off behind the clouds but it was…
I'd also recommend checking a website like https://www.lightpollutionmap.info to find an area nearby that has less light pollution.

#274This shows a scientific view of it: https://earth.nullschool.net/#current/space/surface/level/an...
There is a 50% probability of aurora borealis over the equator right now according to that website.

Since we're all scientists here, I'll report a negative from central York. My wife and I stood up in the attic looking out of the Velux for 10 minutes. It was dark, clear and we were could see from NE-ish to SE-ish. We couldn't really call it. A very subtle effect on a 10s smartphone exposure, mayyybe? I will compare with tonight. We once rented a beautiful, slightly remote house on a beach outside Reykjavik and one…
Interesting, maybe it depends on when you were looking? Also central York and we popped outside just after half eleven and the aurora was very visible to the naked eye, not in full multicolour but very clearly not a cloud, quite thick and radiating out from a centre in the sky almost all the way down to the horizon. We have a reasonably dark place we can look from near us (and where we got some photos on a smartphone…
I must have caught a calmer moment at midnight then! I'm in Murton so there's not a lot of light looking away from town.

I also missed it. Meant to be happening again tonight though.
Tonight at which location? Europe? I might go for a impromptu camping trip!

Is your village north, middle or south Germany. Just curious how much I missed:-/
Mid-west, in an area called Hunsrück.
Thanks, I'm in Bavaria, so there
might have been be a chance and the other comments say there are more solar storms upcoming. Definitely will have my eyes in the sky tonight. The images are amazing, btw.

Currently pretty good at the South Pole. The pink skies are wild. Green auroras are fairlty common over the winter, but it's unusual for it to be this red. If you're interested in a real time video, here's one I captured a few weeks ago from our "back yard" (excuse the Instagram link) https://www.instagram.com/reel/C6T27pEO7dQ/?igsh=eXJyOGtuY2l...
Unrelated but why are you at the South Pole?
Why aren’t you?! :P

Can you share a photo?
I took one semi successful photo using my crappy beat-down a20e Samsung phone. It doesn't do what we saw justice at all. https://imgur.com/5mlD22W
Here are some quality photos from Denmark:
