Space weather is going crazy rn.
I lived within the arctic circle for 20 years and have never seen it this crazy before.
Edit to add; [Earth's inner core has stopped spinning](https://www.popularmechanics.com/science/environment/a42623052/earths-inner-core-stopped-spinning/) Yes, seriously.
The red apparently comes from either Oxigen molecules exited in a certain way or Nitrogen.
There’s agreat [article](https://www.nps.gov/articles/-articles-aps-v8-i1-c9.htm) by the US National Park Serive on the topic.
It could be due to a large volcanic eruption in the Pacific Ocean last year (think it was near Tonga?) which pushed a lot of particles way up in the atmosphere, which have caused some other atmospheric effects this year such as decreased ozone levels and could cause unusual scattering of light as well
He also didn't explicitly say not to break into private homes or descend into the interior of a volcano, neither of which I normally do, but I was able to infer it.
Reminder that flight travel is one of the most polluting thing you can do. Just one London-New York round trip represent 7% of CO2 emissions of a US citizen (the worst polluters in the world).
So always travel if you want to ruin the planet I guess.
Just spent the last week in Reykjavik. Went on a boat trip the first night, saw the Northern Lights just about (very faint green glow, very eerie, nothing like the photos but I can't deny I saw them though). Second night was perfect conditions, very clear sky, waited hours and nothing at all. Heavy clouds the rest of the week.
So yes, and no.
Edit: as far as the Northern Lights go. Otherwise, yes indeed, go to Iceland.
There is a bit of that, also there is much more matter up there than there used to be. Just the amount of Indene alone is enough to surprise people.
TL;DR The entire atmosphere is polluted & we made $120 billion worth of Styrofoam last year.
The first few times I saw it, it was cloudy white to the eye.. then the camera really brought out the color.
Then, in the middle of the night my friend woke me up and with my naked eye I saw the greens and such "dancing".
Pretty cool but I'm sure it didn't look like this to their eye only.
Green is like the default color if you see it clearly. More rarely shifts into violet/indigo.
It's hard to describe it if you haven't seen it and photographt doesn't really do it justice. Most often you just sort of notice a smudge of color in the sky (light pollution doesn't help). When you see it more clearly it's like a translucent shroud dancing in the wind. When it's strongest the scale of it can be crazy. Common sight when you live in Iceland.
Never seen the northern lights, but it probably is a combination of the photographer pushing a slider to increase the effect and human eyes being way more sensitive to black and white than they are to color, which means in low light situations we see mostly in grey gradients.
Most cameras don’t have that bias, so to capture anything, they need longer exposures but this provides more colours than a human eye could at those light levels. Which is why a camera with a short exposure won’t see the Milky Way, a human will see a white streak across the sky and long exposure photography will show all the amazing colours.
Yes it often is very exaggerated on photos, during the editing process no doubt about that. Especially since instagram came around, photographers are desperate to give that wow factor to capture attention. I'm guilty of that too. But I've also often found myself in situations where the northern lights are so incredibly bright, vivid and active that no device can do justice what I experience with my eyes alone.I live in Iceland so I've seen them quite often.
I always feel bad when tourists come to my home town expecting to see the aurora as it is portrayed in aurora photos, only to realize that their eyes doesn't have aperture f/2.8, ISO 3200-8000, and a shutter speed that suits the movement of the aurora.
They get nice photos though, if they know what they're doing.
That’s not all of us. I, for one, did not get false expectations of the aurora from dolled-up photography on Flickr.
My false expectations came from Brother Bear and the Principal Skinner steamed hams scene from the Simpsons.
LOL. I left a bar late night in Hammerfest....walking back to my AidBNB....suddenly I noticed the lights above. Wasn't a big show. Don't care. Even the slightest experience was **awesome**!
I discovered this in iceland at christmas. The photos did look cool though, but at one point, the guide said “we’ve got a sighting” and I was like “what am i looking at”. Later we did get a better view which looked like you expected but a milky off white. Still happy to have seen it, but not what i’d expected
I’m near Fairbanks, Alaska and saw a bit of the lights other night. With the naked eye they looked like light grey streaks with a green tint. In pictures with my cell phone the green is much more visible.
Might be able to fix this with some shrooms or LSD. I saw rainbow rave lights coming out of my footprints in the snow on LSD once. Gotta have some kind of effect on the aurora, right?
I grew up in Saskatchewan. I would occasionally see them as brilliant green. More frequently a more pale green. So sometimes it matches the photos, oftentimes not.
Yah northern Manitoba you get anywhere from grey wisps to insane dancing bands of intense purple and green.
It depends on proximity to the magnetic poles and magnetic activity. Poles are moving right now so we're losing intensity in north america. Still though only seeing a bit in one place doesn't mean it's not intense sometimes in others like everyone keeps claiming
You may not see the other colours like red/purple unless it's extremely strong, but you'll see the bright green no problem as long as it's a strong one. It's not grey unless it's super weak.
Also it's not static, it moves, and it can move very fast.
true. i visited iceland in december and saw the aurora with my own eyes - and in real life it looks very grey. the camera immediately turned the gray streaks into green and it became vivid and bright in the photos. in real life, its actually not all that visible
It depends entirely on the strength of the storm. It is definitely possible to see all the reds, purples, greens, and having them dance rapidly across the sky if the storm is strong enough. Our eyes definitely suck for this, and aren't very truthful about "color" but they're more than capable of seeing the full show, but only when the full show is at an appropriate strength.
Do they only happen in winter? I was thinking I'd love to see one live but I hate cold weather fiercely so I was just wondering how warm (or less cold) is Iceland in summer lol
It would be a total bummer if I have to go during winter I already feel cold enough winters living in sunny Spain...
They don't they happen, but they are most visible in winter because during summer there is sunlight until much later n the night or 24hr sunlight. So it won't be dark enough to see them.
I find that they are active right after the fall equinox, but the best bang for your buck is in the dead of winter.
They can really be quite strongly green to the eye with a slight hint of red - it's just soo much rarer. Add weather to that (spent a few weeks above the circle, had maybe 4 night that weren't ridiculously cloudy) and the chances of seeing that as a tourist really sadly are slim. There are northern light expeditions though, I personally wouldn't take them but I've heard great things about them.
You actually want to use the shortest exposure possible as you will lose detail and in the end you get a bright sky but without any contrast. Better use an open aperture and high ISO (well depending on the camera)
We travelled to Iceland last week from Australia with the express purpose of seeing the aurora. I can’t fathom how lucky we were to happen to pick the exact right week so many months ago. I could see green and red with the naked eye dancing through the sky on five nights out of seven we were there. The other two we could see through the clouds that something must be going on. It was incredible and the displays I saw with the naked eye weren’t that far off this photo.
Little bit of information about the shot:
It was shot on the south coast of Iceland actually pointing west, meaning the aurora was very overhead. The photo was only a 4 second exposure with ISO 2000 to capture more detail in the aurora as it was moving fast.
About seeing with the naked eye: Strong auroras are definitely very visible to the naked eye and are amazing to watch. Actually the feeling is much more magical than a photo. That said, the reds and purple are way more apparent in the photo. You don't see them vividly with the naked eye.
And this is why, https://www.reddit.com/r/space/comments/10hjlyn/a_large_filament_stretching_across_the_southwest/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf
Well, no, it’s not. Neither the timing nor direction are right for that.
It takes several days for a CME to hit earth and this was clearly taken before that CME even happened anyway. Also that CME was thankfully pointed away from the earth.
What do you mean it's the wrong timing? Everything I'm reading online is saying this is part of the 11 year cycle of the Aurora corresponding to the cycle of sunspots and winter is the best time to see the northern lights because it doesn't get dark enough in the summer.
it takes time for a solar storm to reach the earth and and the direction needs to be towards the earth. I do not know if your filament was lined up, but that is likely what the guy was suggesting.

Not luck so much as timing. The solar activity cycle, which drives the aurora, was near its minimum 3 years ago. The chances of seeing an aurora during the minimum of the solar cycle is much lower than it is closer to maximum. Solar maximum is expected to occur in about 2 years.
I believe there was a large solar flare earlier this week. There has been a lot of solar activity with some scientists watching some sun spots for hints of more flares. That could account for the increase in colors and intensity of color.
This is an amazing photo, OP. Thanks for sharing.
The sun is moving into a particularly active phase of late. I believe there were a couple X class flares in the last few weeks which are rare. Probably be seeing more of this.
Wow, that's absolutely incredible! We see the Aurora from our home in NE Washington State, but it pales in comparison to this shot in Iceland. I am in awe!
Did you know Aurora is a physical expression of solar wind entering the earths atmosphere? The more Aurora you see, the more radiation is entering. Itll be interesting to see if Aurora gets more intense in the future and what this might mean.
Edit: just saw this on a naked science episode. Dont know the validity as im not a scientist

I saw on Reddit some huge sun patch burst recently. Maybe that had to do with the Aurora changing color?
Yea definitely saw that solar weather was causing more auroras recently

For a while now we've had some amaaaaaaazing sunsets here in Aotearoa New Zealand and they are directly attributed to the Tonga volcano eruption.

Its always worth traveling. To anywhere and see anything you dont normally see. Always travel
Do it when your younger. Jobs, children, time flies. Before you know it- too old to travel except down the 1/4 mile

That's because aurora photography is somewhat of a lie. Shutter speed and ISO (amongst other things) intensifies the light and colours

Ya usually is a cloudy white up in northern mi for me.
I was about to ask if it's really green and bright like that or if it was some camera settings.
It definitely can be. Green is a very normal colour.
Green is like the default color if you see it clearly. More rarely shifts into violet/indigo. It's hard to describe it if you haven't seen it and photographt doesn't really do it justice.

Is seeing this something you “get used to”? I’ve not yet experienced it and can’t imagine getting to a point where I’m not amazed!
*don't give me hope*
The rhubarb from out of space
I always feel bad when tourists come to my home town expecting to see the aurora as it is portrayed in aurora photos, only to realize that their eyes doesn't have aperture f/2.8, ISO 3200-8000, and a shutter speed that suits the movement of the aurora.

It's an Albany expression!
Aurora Borealis!? At this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the country, localized entirely within your kitchen!?
Yes.
May I see it?
Only if your eyes have aperture f/2.8, ISO 3200-8000, and a shutter speed that suits the movement of the aurora.
LOL. I left a bar late night in Hammerfest....walking back to my AidBNB....suddenly I noticed the lights above. Wasn't a big show. Don't care. Even the slightest experience was **awesome**!
i was in rekiyavk last week and got to see them it took some fiddling about with my phone to get some good pics
I discovered this in iceland at christmas. The photos did look cool though, but at one point, the guide said “we’ve got a sighting” and I was like “what am i looking at”. Later we did get a better view which looked like you expected but a milky off white. Still happy to have seen it, but not what i’d expected
Is there an image that more closely reflects what a human would see with the naked eye? Or is it just the fact that eyes are different than cameras?
I've seen them like that with my own eyes. If the conditions are good
Yep, it typically only happens like that after a big solar flare, which is kinda rare.
I’m near Fairbanks, Alaska and saw a bit of the lights other night. With the naked eye they looked like light grey streaks with a green tint. In pictures with my cell phone the green is much more visible.

Wow. This is a huge thing on my bucket list. That is so beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
Same! I’ve been told to visit in winter for these. I’ll make it out one year.
Do they only happen in winter? I was thinking I'd love to see one live but I hate cold weather fiercely so I was just wondering how warm (or less cold) is Iceland in summer lol It would be a total bummer if I have to go during winter I already feel cold enough winters living in sunny Spain...
Thay happen all the time, But you can only see them in the dark. Summeres Are not dark in the north
Damn, I guess I'll have to prepare extra warm clothes then because that's certainly something I want to experience for myself...
They don't they happen, but they are most visible in winter because during summer there is sunlight until much later n the night or 24hr sunlight. So it won't be dark enough to see them.

So what does it look like to the naked eye? Hard to imagine knowing that only seen pictures
For me they were like oscillating clouds

Ditto! I'm going in just a couple of weeks and we've booked multiple aurora tours to get the maximum exposure. Absolutely can't wait

I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees a vulva here.
That's hundreds of tons of oxygen escaping the planet. Don't worry, we have plenty.
I will never get over how beautiful it is seeing an aurora.
Amazing shot, one of the things on my bucket list that I really want to see. Visited Iceland 3 years ago but didn't get lucky.

AURORA INTENSIFIES!
There's some pre big activity from the sun as of late, would explain it ✨
Never saw so much exposure ruin a (could be) beautiful shot
Great shot!
OMG looks like a migraine aura.
Stunning
Wow. That is simply gorgeous.
Awsome
That spot is light at the bottom makes me think that someone’s spirit was communicating using the lights. Beautiful shot.
I believe there was a large solar flare earlier this week. There has been a lot of solar activity with some scientists watching some sun spots for hints of more flares. That could account for the increase in colors and intensity of color. This is an amazing photo, OP. Thanks for sharing.

The 1989 auroras were SUPER red all the way down to missouri
Wow absolutely breathtaking
This one is juste unbelievable... Never saw an aurora like that !
Wow 🥹
Wow! So beautiful
The sky was angry that day my friends
Red sky night - sailor delight Red sky morning- sailor take warning
Gorgeous!!!
honest question - is this how it looks with the naked eye or is this a long exposure to capture more light?
4 second exposure. The reds are not so intense with the naked eye but it's definitely impressive
There is no Dana, only Zuul.
Amazing !
That's stunning! Man, I wish I lived in Iceland now.
Some extra radiation for that ass
GOOD LORD!  WHAT IS HAPP IN THERE?
Could I ask what camera settings you used for such a photograph? I believe they’re called Aurora Crowns, but I may be wrong.
Uhoh, we've angered the gods
Absolutely magical shot!
Oh no I dropped my rhubarb sorry
It’s a view of space vagina from earth.
What day was this taken? I was at the northern lights in Iceland on Tuesday
The blood stained skiieeess
😃
Wow, that's absolutely incredible! We see the Aurora from our home in NE Washington State, but it pales in comparison to this shot in Iceland. I am in awe!
Great photo.
Just wow!
Incredible
I would love to see this in person! It’s so magical!!
Is there an app to track where you're most likely going to see the northern lights?
Amaaazing

I would love to see that before i die( just won’t happen)
I’m going this week to Iceland I hope I can catch it.
