This is just mesmerizing! The way the #aurora undulates looks almost like an undersea creature swimming. Hard to believe it's this bright on an iPhone. Great capture. Thanks for reporting!

If you take long exposures, your cell phone camera might be able to pick up the colors that are too dim for your eyes to see. Thanks for reporting!

Omg look at this GORGEOUS aurora in Posio, Finland happening right now! Beautiful green and red curtains are filling the sky. Europe is getting absolutely bathed in aurora tonight. Amazing stuff!

One of the best Aurora shows Iโ€™ve seen. Legit just stopped and watched it dance. Big camera is shooting. This is just iPhone again.

This is an auroral phenomenon known as a "sub-auroral" arc or "STEVE." It is occurring because there is an ongoing #solarstorm happening right now. Enjoy the show, but don't trust your GPS navigation signal while under these displays. They can cause it to jump around!

The stealthy #solarstorm has passed. Now the interaction region ahead of the fast solar wind has arrived! This "bow wave" of sorts has brought us #aurora as far south as Kansas and Oklahoma tonight. Shows are waning slowly, but New Zealand and Tasmania might still get a chance to catch some views!

The stealthy #solarstorm has arrived and it is beginning to really look good for #aurora shows, despite being pretty slow. Aurora chasers in the Western and those down under should get some decent periodic brightenings through morning as substorms ramp up!

High latitude #aurora chasers get a bit of a show due to the fast solar wind and embedded stealthy #solarstorm this week. Amateur #radio operators & #GPS users could see more noisy signals too. Learn the details in the new #SpaceWeatherWoman forecast: patreon.com/posts/139843...

Auroras start at about 9 min.
I loved last pic explainer on satellite locations w/tiny view top left: Red is Earth facing from NOAA, green is STERO-A, and the blue is from Solar Orbiter (ESA).

Some really cool aurora tonight in the northern suburbs of Chicago, along Lake Michigan @tamithaskov.bsky.social @vincentledvina.bsky.social @wickydubswx.bsky.social

Well, itโ€™s barely out in Maine right nowโ€ฆ pretty low glow on the northern horizon. We may see a substorm push this higher with some tall pillars, so letโ€™s keep an eye on it. Anyone below the 45th parallel is going to have a hard time seeing much at the present moment.

In a night sky mostly clouded, fluorescent green light below and a hint of pink behind the clouds.
