Gregory's ServerAbout an hour ago, the sky turned blood red over Bavaria, Germany. It's the first time I've ever seen an #Aurora in my life. It was so bright to be easily visible with the naked eye. An absolutely jawdropping experience. ππ³β¨

  @ProjectPhysX @tagesschau @DLR @dlr_next @stim3on welp. .  @ProjectPhysX @tagesschau @DLR @dlr_next @stim3on ? Iβve seen the Northern Lights numerous times in northern BC- always with the naked eye.  @SonofaGeorge @ProjectPhysX @tagesschau @DLR @dlr_next @stim3on Rare in Europe. Things arenβt so spectacular in southern England tonight but the phone picked things up quite nicely. And since itβs been years since I saw one of these in Iceland, it was nice to finally get that experience in the UK!  @SonofaGeorge @ProjectPhysX @tagesschau @DLR @dlr_next @stim3on our magnetic field isn't symmetrical, so it comes lower in North America day-to-day, if I'm not misremembering things. @ProjectPhysX I wish I could say the same haha, too much light pollution here currently haha @ProjectPhysX @tagesschau @DLR @dlr_next @stim3on first time to ever see it here in Ireland, the whole sky had a spectacular sheeting effect (potato phone camera, forgive my sins :)) @ProjectPhysX @tagesschau @DLR @dlr_next @stim3on I misread this and thought it said "skies turned blood red over Barovia" and thought "Yeah that tracks." @ProjectPhysX @tagesschau @DLR @dlr_next @stim3on itβs right over Europe tonight - there was a solar storm. I saw in Scotland too @tagesschau @DLR @dlr_next @stim3on obligatory evidence photo that I really took these #aurora pictures^^ ππ§ This has got to be my best selfie of all time! β¨ @tagesschau @DLR @dlr_next @stim3on 2 hours later, May 11 00:39-00:54, round 2. The #aurora now covers the entire sky over Bavaria, Germany. It's even visible to the naked eye when looking south! This is insanity!! ππ³ @ProjectPhysX @tagesschau @DLR @dlr_next @stim3on Amazing. The sun isn't down yet here in Victoria, B.C. in Canada. If this is what we might see, I'll definitely have to stay up tonight. @ProjectPhysX @tagesschau @DLR @dlr_next @stim3on aurora borealis, with colors. Here in Rovaniemi seen quite frequently, but only in green color. With color rare also in here. Moritz you was lucky your first. π€ @ProjectPhysX @tagesschau @DLR @dlr_next @stim3on yeah, it was amazing to see the lights with the bare eye down here in bavaria. I never would have imagined that it would be possible to get more than a faint green glow here. And yet, here we are... All the colors visible :)  @ProjectPhysX @tagesschau @DLR @dlr_next @stim3on The sun is having a party and we're all invited. Should be active for a year or so  @draeath @ProjectPhysX @tagesschau @DLR @dlr_next @stim3on @bjb @ProjectPhysX @tagesschau @DLR @dlr_next @stim3on no kidding, I just went on call today myself. All quiet though, not even a twitch from our datacenter power systems so far. I hope it's quiet for you as well!   @ProjectPhysX @tagesschau @DLR @dlr_next @stim3on Just now in Northern Spain #picosdeeuropa . Couldnβt believe itβ¦ even a very weak glow visible with the naked eye. This is taken with my iPhone. #aurora  @ProjectPhysX @tagesschau @DLR @dlr_next @stim3on This is one of the coolest things I've come upon here on Mastodon...ever! Super jealous though...haha. @ProjectPhysX @tagesschau @DLR @dlr_next @stim3on Experiencing Divine Envy, that feeling when you want to have what someone else has, but not at the expense of taking it away from someone. As Tom Waits might say: All upon a cloudy night  THANK YOU DOC!!! Not something we ever see in the southern part of the US. This is a real treat for me/us.  @ProjectPhysX @tagesschau @DLR @dlr_next @stim3on I took this one 20 mins ago! Canon 6d  |
