'Severe' geomagnetic storm to slam Earth Thursday, with auroras possible as far south as California and Alabama
A powerful solar outburst is likely to trigger a "severe" geomagnetic storm on Thursday, with auroras potentially visible as far south as California and Alabama, NOAA predicts.
Alaska resident here...Auroras have been going nuts last few days. My wife and I texted all the neighbors on Monday night. The whole street came out to watch. Usually, we mostly see green and occasionally silver/white. Monday night was was a lot of red/white/green. Reds seem to be the most rare
Looks like you've been SLAMMED
That's so fucking awesome!
I've seen some lights in my lifetime, in MT mostly. Can you see other colors (like the rare red, purple, etc) without a camera?
The picture is pretty close to what we saw by the naked eye.
Yes. I used to live in Alaska but moved some time ago. These look to me like I remembered seeing them. Different elements emit different colored like, the same way different materials burn different colored flames. Same reason, same colors.
Again with the slams?
bar customers SLAMS glass against counter, demands another beer
That squealing sound you will be hearing are my tires as I peal out of my driveway to go watch the northern lights tomorrow
The Aurora forecast maps don't show it going that far south at all.
Yeah, not even close. I was absolutely ready to drive north tomorrow night to watch it until I checked NOAA. Now I'm going to stay here and get drunk.
The article did a shit job of linking to it, but here's the actual verbatim
Picking California as a reference is so stupid. Like, it's long as hell.
Even the north most parts of California experiencing auroras is a newsworthy event though!
Will it be at night? Can I actually see them because holy shit that would be so cool
Update: it's super cloudy right now, hopefully it clears up
Update 2: It's sunny af right now, hope it stays like this till night
Mtg, the dems have a geomagnetic storm machine, they will use it to interfere with the election!
Light pollution kills every bit of universal beauty near me.
Not to be a spoil sport, but it could hit during the day. They think it might arrive as early as this morning.
Unsure hope long these shows go on for, but that’sa consideration.Ooo... I wanna see Aurora all the way here in the Central Valley. 😯
I looked at the NOAA aurora forecast and it doesn’t even really go into Oregon. This headline is just wrong
I live in a northern swampland and as such, just always get a yellowish glow because of the humidity. I think? We just always have this general glow that kills any fun cosmic opportunities.
What about Sweden?
