Solar Magnetic Storm ~ In The Mountains...
(Edited)
Last night... wow.
Apparently, t'was the biggest solar magnetic storm in a couple decades. And visible from a good chunk of the northern hemisphere on all continents.
I ended up collecting some photos from the local community group on Facebook for my mom, who's always loved the auroras - figured some here would appreciate as well. (I did NOT take these myself, only curating the best of a bunch, and never thought to note who did take/post them until too.)
Apparently there's supposed to be a round 2 tonight as well, though not extending as far south in the the US - but anyone in Canada and possibly anywhere in upper northern hemisphere might be lined up for another show IF ya got clear skies in about 7-8 hours... :-)

Looks so beautiful and colorful
I must admit it wasn’t quite as epic to the visible eye - the cameras really amplify the color and brightness so pics look WAY more dramatic. But still was pretty awesome nonetheless as it was.
Very nice! It was pretty awesome where we were too. My wife finally got to see the lights and I was so happy for her.
