Was worried I was missing something, but yeah looked normal dark :(
I got excited when I saw how far north some of these responses were, but not enough i guess.
If you are in the heart of the city and it's cloudy there is no way you will see it. You need a clear sky and some place with light to moderate light pollution
Checking back in from a clear North Shore MA. My iPhone is picking up some beautiful purples and my eyes think they are seeing the same but not so much.
Got a really good view of it. One of the perks of living in the middle of nowhere with no lights for miles 😁
Good luck! Though I'm guessing there's a tad more light pollution than there was four decades ago...
I'm sorta surprised it's not stronger in this state right now seeing as how some of the photos from nearby states look pretty gnarly.
are you looking through your phone camera? I didn't know what I was seeing until I saw my phone captured it. Still very subtle to the naked eye.
I think my phone camera is just terrible for the night because all I see is blurry pixelated shit on it lol
I'm in Central Coast of California and don't see anything outisde my window. Am I too far south?
I'd probably have to drive out further into the middle of no where where there's no trees, meh.
huh thats funny, I didnt realize this was happening tonight, but for some reason I decided to go outside to sit out in the dark, and I found myself a bit curious why the night sky seemed a bit purple. Just thought it was light pollution around the town. It looked mildly interesting, but didn't think much of it because it wasn't really noticeable.
Not seeing anything where I am in MA but I'm getting in my car to see if I can drive somewhere to see it
Can't see anything through the crappy weather here in western CT, unfortunately. Big bummed about it.
Cleared up here briefly in Eastern PA, long enough for me to see the pillars of light. Something I've been meaning to see my entire life, so that was absolutely incredible. Anyone know if the storm will persist through the night? I think it's gonna clear up here as the night goes on.
Absolutely incredible experience here in Michigan
So many colors bright and vibrant dancing in the sky. First time I've ever seen this in person and I was blown away

AH thank you! I saw a plane go by in our [plain dark] night sky, and couldn't help but imagine what a plane's eye-view would see. ♫
