For those in the Northern half of the United States. Are you going to watch the Auroras from the geomagnetic storm tonight?

hey, im in east sussex, uk and we have been blessed with such sights a few times this year... i had always planned to go to a country reknowned for their presence and then my well travelled cousin told me its only the awesome spectrum of colours through a lense through our eyes its very different... but i watched them from my back garden recently with my two children grown, and appreciated it could be a once in a lifetime moment...

Agreed, same thing I said to @WindAtMyBack 👍

[WindAtMyBack]

Didn't know about it. I'll look it up. A lot of people saw the last big one, including a lot near me. I spent a few hours staring at the sky on multiple nights and didn't see a thing. Seeing it is really high on my bucket list.

Yeah it's a let down with the naked eye. I've only seen it once and you don't get the colors you see in pictures. So I was wondering if you could see them better using a camera phone. Thought I'd give that a try.

I have heard of people getting a good picture with a phone that they couldn't see with their eyes. I assume the sensor on the phone is more sensitive to those wavelengths.
