Northern Lights tonight
- Thread starter TortElvisII
- Start date
Magnetic field is weakening. We'll be able to see more and more aurora in the south. Magnetic pole is also shifting toward Rus faster and faster too. Nasa is warning that gps will be affected and other services may be affected too.
Earth's magnetic field is fading. Today it is about 10 percent weaker than it was when German mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss started keeping tabs on it in 1845, scientists say. If the trend continues, the field may collapse altogether and then reverse. Compasses would point south instead of north.

If you looked thru your phone at the sky … some incredible views of the northern lights
I have taken so many beautiful pictures tonight.
It's pretty incredible for this far south.
It's pretty incredible for this far south.
What’s incredible is that I turned and looked towards the south and saw pinkish / crimson colors about 30 degrees above the horizon. The stars were all fuzzy and blurry from all the magnetic activity.
Yeah it's actually better to the South where I'm at too.
I had to drag my sweatpants back out because I was in shorts and that wasn't working.
I've seen where these are visible from central Georgia and central Texas. I guess Northern Florida would be at a similar latitude to central Texas.

They predicted Alabama and it wound up as far south as Key West.

They were faintly visible with my phone here in South Florida. One of my neighbors was taking a late evening walk and asked me why I was taking a pic of in the sky. It blowed/blew his mind when I showed him.
I've only seen them twice, maybe three times in my life in Ky. I would think you've seen a pretty rare event for Florida.

I didn't know you could be too far north to see the Northern Lights. I have a friend in the military that took 2 trips to Northern Alaska and another in the fall this year on a government pork project to help some Eskimo community of between 598 and 602 people.
Was in Chicago last night and saw nothing, the irony of if I was in St Pete I would’ve seen some lights, is ripe.
Cicadas, Northern Lights, Eclipse, pretty cool times. Cicadas already really loud in western Ky.

Did the same. I told my wife that the moon was illuminating on some clouds and the sky looked a little pinkish. LOL, had no clue it was Northern Lights. At least I wasn't just seeing things.
GDit. Looks like they will be right in Bowling Green. Well maybe Franklin.Cicadas, Northern Lights, Eclipse, pretty cool times. Cicadas already really loud in western Ky.

I'm sure you are aware that you can't be too far north to commit murder. 602 to 598 sounds like a small town population within 48 hours of you visiting.

Wtf is going on in Illinois and Missouri? Lol
Northern lights back this AM. Not as spectacular as Friday into Saturday as it is mostly cloudy. It is bright in a few places. Mainly north but not exclusively.
White to north and east. Pink and orange to south.

Imagine seeing this BEFORE we knew what it was? It would make anyone pray. That is equally breathtaking, yet horrifying.
