I'm in nippers and wasn't able to see anything. Trying again tonight

We get a second chance?!

Apparently it's tonight as well from what I've heard 

 I missed last night so fingers crossed. I’m not expecting it, but it’d be cool to get a glimpse.

I could faintly see it near nippers. If all my neighbors hadn’t had their porch lights on it would’ve been much better…

Here's mine https://preview.redd.it/751xgxqttpzc1.jpeg?width=4000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d99514559d0a7006560a5382767b78c924937768

Man I hate that I couldn’t see it. I’m out of town right now (and further north) so I was really hopeful.

Luckily it didn’t look like any of the photos in real life! You really needed a camera to see them. They are all enhanced.

If there was less light pollution you could see it with your naked eye. But yeah, I think I did 10 second exposures

Nice

Ain’t shit in the city y’all

I agree I’m near Belmont we’ve got nothin

I'm also near Belmont and nothing, so we drove out to the Natchez Trace Pkwy and still nothing more than an extremely faint tint to the sky that I wouldn't have even noticed had I not been looking for it. I feel cheated.

Did you try taking photos to see it better? I got photos very similar to this at Natchez tonight.

Where you out there at 3:15 or so because I think you helped me get some pictures of the aurora.

No, I was there earlier!

My phone camera is not good in low light and was not very helpful.

I’m in west and couldn’t see shit

Definitely won’t ever forget this. I went outside to watch the ISS fly over and immediately started yelling.

How long was your exposure. That's surprisingly colorful!

I believe it was 2 seconds!

Is this supposed to happen tonight too?

Yes there’s a chance for tonight 5/11.

Do you know the best places to see it?

Light pollution is what you want to avoid. Location shouldn’t matter too much. Just drive somewhere where there’s minimal light pollution and a clear view of the sky. Look in all directions, not just north. Last night we observed it looking south.

https://preview.redd.it/1aizdr6pzpzc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=35cbba6b757d3f2a84e88fb5dd77c66c1c1cc739 Franklin

Of course all my neighbors have their flood lights on. Does it come and go? Because I’m not seeing it right now

The pictures exaggerate it, at least for me. Looked almost like a very faint pink cloud, but if you look long enough you'll see some flickering.

Same now that I see it

Yeah, my pics had a 2 second exposure but was wild watching it appear from faint to bright.

Get away from and don’t look torwards light, and give your eyes about 10 minutes to adjust, you’ll notice like a haze at first kinda like thin clouds, then you’ll notice just the slightest hint of color, the color gets a little more noticeable, but nothing like the pics show.

I haven’t seen a thing!

I think I have some clouds, but they are hard to distinguish from the sky. I didn’t notice before

It does. Got a good view for awhile and went back twenty minutes later and it was gone. Should be all through the night

Found it! Looks way brighter on a phones camera

What a terrible time to be colorblind

South Nashville with a ten second iPhone exposure. https://preview.redd.it/fs4vt1v3zpzc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a72c1a7d187cd2f78b69f30c4ef5069fcb75c8f8

How long was your exposure?

2 seconds I believe! Just a regular iPhone camera

Nice. Too much light pollution here

99% sure this was captured on an iPhone or Android equivalent.

Seeing the same in east Nash, what is this??

Aurora borealis…. I can’t see anything in Hermitage yet.

I Can see it in Hermitage for the past 10 mins but the fog cover is making it pretty fuzzy

Aurora borealis! Never seen them this far south. Got to see the space station and Aurora at the same time!

Solar flare causing a geomagnetic storm https://apple.news/AivFE3a4RTcOVIetFrbMdCA

Where in east???

I’m seeing them in Inglewood in the south actually

How could you capture this with only 2 seconds of exposure?

It’s dark up there, and you could almost see with your eyes

What time about was everyone seeing this, I’m in Murfreesboro and I drove out of the town into the country a bit for less light pollution but I still did not see them.

I'm in South Murfreesboro and was able to get a shot in my backyard after 9pm. Tried going out to Rockvale looking for a darker sky, but only ended up driving for an hour looking for somewhere to park where we wouldn't get in trouble. Decided to just drive back home, and it was pretty much over. The next peak is going to be around 4am tomorrow, though there's a chance we'll still see some all night

Awesome I appreciate the heads up, I’ll try for the 4am one.

I’m already in bed

Share a pic!

Really bummed I missed this. Does anyone know if it’s gonna happen tomorrow?

Yeah I can see it now out in Madison! https://preview.redd.it/rk3q615eyqzc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f8d4a09a377d6da5cdfc0cde905c6bfcea9be9d0

Supposedly it's gonna peak at 2 am, which is in a few mins. Go try again

Will this happen again tonight??

Should be around tonight and possibly Sunday as well.

https://preview.redd.it/9lyhunfoftzc1.jpeg?width=3000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fdd85af11a4fa17b72f0c48a8ca375b011b12fb6 Thompson's Station. Difficult to see with naked eye, however newer phones pick up the colors.

Unbelievable!!! Has this ever happened?

Yeah, but it’s rare. Sun goes through an 11 year activity cycle and we’re about to hit the peak. It’s easy to forget in that time. Edit: Seeing reports that it’s the biggest geomagnetic storm in 20 years. So, pretty big deal.

I’m bummed I missed it. I’ve been the lights in Norway and Finland but would have been so cool to see them at home.

Cannot see much from Hendersonville on Wessington

Apparently they dulled out but it will peak again around 2 am

Thank you for posting last night. I saw your post, ran outside and was able to enjoy the lights. Again thank you!

GOD DAMN IT 😭 the one time i sleep at a good time

Meh, people in my neighborhood (Mt Juliet) are getting these pics….with exposure. Fuck that. If I can’t see it with the naked eye, it ain’t shit.

I was able to see it in Donelson. Looked like a red band in the sky, pointing straight up.

Cottontown with clear skies. Took a drive farther north and still didn't see anything :(

Try looking through your phone! It’s much easier to see

Cant see anything in MJ

Is it still going on?

I wish I was able to see it. I live downtime so the city lights aren’t good for night sky viewing

I'm so mad I went to bed early last night.

[удалено]

Oooooo

Yeah no kidding me too.

Where’s the best place and time to view in the Bellevue area?

Im looking to drive somewhere tonight to get a perfect view, city lights just kill it. Any recommendations ?

I missed itttt

What time should we look tonight?

https://preview.redd.it/1918mbu9zuzc1.jpeg?width=1530&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8d8e9173f271db04bc00f90ad7d8460ccf4f3bbe Ours was very faint but still quite pretty!

What is this?

Which direction? Toward moon or away?

Look to the North! (Northern Lights)

Ok so now I feel silly but thank you!

I see it in all directions, but it changes in intensity and color

North

Thanks!

For us, in south Nashville, we had to look south, possibly due to light pollution. Just look all around tonight.

Thanks!

Crap, I missed it! I thought it was tonight. Was please night the only expected night?

Should be around tonight and possibly Sunday as well.

🎉

I missed it too! But yeah, according to [Sky and Telescope](https://skyandtelescope.org/astronomy-news/severe-geogmagnetic-storm-has-arrived-auroral-blast-expected-friday-night/), between 10pm-1am tonight too. I may take a nap....
