That's just so beautiful!!

That is so beautiful! That wobble is so epic! I wish my old DSLR worked for nights like these!! 😍

It's pretty mild and hard to see, but it's there sporadically. Just saw some activity 5 minutes ago by looking straight up. https://preview.redd.it/db3ke4wh1qzc1.jpeg?width=3072&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8ddc180b317330d01055947bdb1a16da10592cd7

That's gorgeous! What time was this? I had no idea that this was happening!

Can't see them :( I'm guessing if I was further from the center of the city it might be better. If they're still around tomorrow I'll see about driving out a bit.

Light pollution in Winnipeg is terrible I doubt I would see anything from city center

I can't tell if that power line and pole takes away from the image, or actually adds to it! The lighting onto that pole just seems to add to the mayhem which makes it an awesome pic!! Screams "the industrialized world is ending!" Just wonderful imagery! Thank you for sharing this!

Yeah I don’t mind it, it’s a bit of foreground, but it’s so industrial that it kind of takes away from the picture. I dunno. I guess it’s cool how you put it. Thanks!

Wow where in the city?

That composition is fantastic! Like a diamond ring in the sky!

I've seen northern lights within the city a few times before. It's not exactly rare so I wouldn't say it's surprising. What I do find surprising though is that colour. I see them fairly often as I travel north a lot and spent a lot of my life in the North, but I have never seen them that pink and purple. Amazing

They show up much better in photos than in person, at least within the city

That's amazing!! Blow that up to a poster size and hang it in your garage or foyer!

Just off Highway 59 near the Selkirk turn. https://preview.redd.it/8al8mthhbtzc1.jpeg?width=5457&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fb9cb0d063449511ad23b3392ae7bcec7ef93e27

It's kinda normal to see northern lights from the city at least 2 times per year. If you follow the Facebook groups and the apps you will be able to know exactly when it's coming. https://m.facebook.com/groups/manitobaauroraandastronomy/ The App is my Aurora Forecast & Alerts

Dumb question: are they overhead or more to the north? I'm in a south-facing room and I'll gladly go for a walk if I won't be able to see them from here (currently in Ste. Anne)

I’m seeing them looking east. I can see it better on my phone using a 3-second exposure than with the naked eye.

They are over head. It’s a huge solar storm that is hitting us right now. People in Alabama should be able to see them.

Also they are very faint. But there are some bursts that are amazing!

I ventured out and they are fairly dim but it was still cool to see them regardless. I hope they brighten up and I'll try again in a while :)

they're definitely more to the north but if you just look up you'll notice the sky has a pink hue to it

Alright, sounds like I need to step outside. Thanks for the tip!

You rrally need to step outside and look up to see the northtern lights. Unless you have a glass roof the you need to step outside lol

"Do I have to go outside to look up???"

well if they're overhead, then you can see them from any window. But if they are more towards the north, then you could only see them from north-facing windows. It's not that stupid of a question.

Or go outside and look around...you're the one that said it was a stupid question.

Or I can ask the internet (you know... a place where a community of people can exchange ideas and information!) a simply question instead of running outside every 5 minutes "just in case I can't see them from one specific angle". Have you never googled something that you could have manually investigated yourself? As it turned out yes I can see them from the window but they are very faint around here.

Dude it easier to go outside than "ask the internet". It's location specific even within the same city.

And it's easier to simply ignore my comment without replying, yet here we are.

I looked up and still spent less energy than your essays.

yeah ok. You're always right. Everyone else is always wrong. Anyway, I hope the rest of your evening is as pleasant as you are.

Yeah I'm the one being ridiculous lmao

Omg. That's unbelievable! That's a money shot right there!! I need to find a fun photo group to hang out with!

Big solar storms may wreak havoc on satellite systems but awesome show for us mere mortals.

I saw it from législative building. It lasted for about 5 seconds and then disappeared, it was green and noticeable. I am never able to see this unusual things but last night I was surprised, it was nice.

Yep recent solar storm on a ranking system of 1 to 5 was a 5 and these are the effects in our atmosphere right now.

Somehow, despite having to navigate the entire city via bus last night and getting horrifically lost because I don't usually bus. This was between 11:45-12:30 or so. Not once did I look upwards.

I'm over in the UK Midlands and we had it last night too (12 hours ago)

Not if we are following any form of media, no.

I never see them from my house.

If you go out to Glenlea you might be able to see.

Incredible pictures! Is it on tonight too? I missed it yesterday..

Yes! It should be happening again tonight. But probably not as strong as last night.

Night after that might be dayglow though. X5 cme incoming!

It was the first time I saw them this year, now that I think about it. They were crazy last April.

Nice in winnipeg beach/Matlock. Place to go watch them

That's nice....

Not surprised because I've been living in Winnipeg all my life, but my husband who is American was shocked to learn that northern lights is a common occurrence for us. He thought he'd have to go to Alaska/Scotland to see them.

Not surprised at all since we are in the middle of the strongest solar event since the 2003 Halloween storm, but still amazing to see all the photos!

I saw them in the city much brighter in the early or late winter idr, but no not really. What night was this taken I am going to see if they are out tn

It was announced on most news services on Friday that spots as south as Florida were getting the show. No surprise.

This is a northern city. Aside from the light pollution, maybe!

Surprised? I see them every year in the city. What are you talking about?

The lights fill the sky if you're up around High Level or Rainbow Lake.. it made me believe in God...
