WOW

I’ve seen the Northern Lights in Skye before, but NEVER like that.

Insane.

Completely visible to the naked eye even around streetlights.
Chuffed my mum finally seen them after complaining she’s never seen them after living in Skye her whole life!

Literally walk out into my back garden and looks just like these pics.

A rare, very large meteor blazed across the sky over Norway during the northern lights. The bright fireball was seen by multiple witnesses, and experts believe fragments may have fallen near the Oslo area. 🌌☄️

A New England trip is approaching in 12 months and we're hoping we get the chance then; if one shpows up while we're there, we'll make an evening of it.

My mom as a kid with her family. A hot summer night in the late ?1920's early 1930's in NYC, sleeping up on the roof to be a bit cooler.
Suddenly a glowy red light in the sky, eventually the full green "curtains"!

My dad late 1960's visiting a regional manager in Seattle, WA.

The one in Oct '24 my sister's neighbors in the top of Manhattan saw it. She faces the wrong direction.
She sent me one of their photographs. It was amazing !
Can't say I wasn't envious.

These photographs are completely unreal — tonight's aurora show is brightest and strongest in more than 20 years. 🌌✨
