Allow me to add to the torrent of #Aurora Borealis photos. These are from Cambridgeshire, taken with a Nikon D5300. Never seen this phenomenon in person before, it was unforgettable. My partner and I even saw 2 meteorites while we were out, one of which visibly sizzled out into sparks. #northernlights#solarstorm
Lazy Saturday morning and I opened the curtains with trepidation to see if the world is a crisp, scorched wasteland from the incoming radiation and energetic particles all night.
Appears everything is alright though.
I will need to get a broom and sweep up all the protons accumulated in my driveway though. Do you put protons in the green bin or the blue box? I forget.
Most extreme #SolarStorm in 20 years brings beautiful #Northern#Lights. Photos taken from all over the world show bright-colored skies across Europe, New Zealand and in the U.S., where it was visible farther south than usual.
Nature's spectacle unfolds as a solar storm supercharges auroras visible from homes across the US, UK, Canada, Germany, Poland, Switzerland, France, Ireland, and other European nations.
I’m getting eaten alive out there but I do not care. If only I could get it in focus, total refusal on that one, my phone’s like YOU’LL SEE THE COLORS THRU ME AND YOU’LL FUCKING LOVE IT and yup yup no complaints I never in my life dreamed I’d see the Northern Lights from California!!! 😱😱🥹
All of these are not retouched and taken from the backyard with an iPhone 14 Pro with a 3 second exposure. These colors were not nearly so visible to the naked eye.
It felt so weird coming back in from the cool air and night magic to a stuffy house where even just the hall light being on felt too bright. I wanted to keep the lights off and let my eyes stay large and dark to see the hidden mysteries. I wanted to just stay outside and bathe in the light of the Aurora Borealis.
I feel like it seeped into my bones. I’ve eaten food from the Realm of the Fae.
Getting some pretty amazing #aurora photos with a 4 second exposure at ISO 320 from my backyard in #Boulder thanks to our G5 #solarstorm big reds, oranges, and some greenish-blue streaks right now, at latitude 40°N 105°W - caught a helicopter, too
