For those of you who have not seen the aurora borealis before, there's no time like the present. I want to dispel some misinformation because there sure is a lot of it. If you don't know what's real and what isn't, this thread is for you!

Another #aurira #substorm happening now. 9:16pm #Manitoba

Substorm happening right now

WOW! Last night I dozed off after the Aurora had began to subside a bit but left the camera rolling just in case and to my surprise, this morning when I pulled the SD card I discovered I captured an absolutely massive fireball exploding over the skies near Buffalo, SD with aurora

Lake-effect snow has begun...well in Manitoba, Canada at least :) arctic air is producing lake-effect snow off Lake Manitoba and Lake Winnipeg this evening and is reaching as far south as North Dakota (h/t Kyle J Gillett). The Great Lakes will be next! #mbstorm #ndwx

Beautiful rime frost in Winnipeg this morning. #shareyourweather

The first CME to the party has rung the doorbell at L1! While we wait for more info on Bz, a quick reminder that if you try to see the aurora over the next few days please make a participatory science report to aurorasaurus.org. Clear skies!✨🦕

OMGGGGGGG this is INCREDIBLE #sdwx

COKORADO IS DOMINATING

Holy hell!!! #aurora #northernlights #Auroraborealis

It was....so....beautiful😍 Even without the phone, you could see red. #Aurora #northernlights #Manitoba #mbwx #horses #shareyourweather #Auroraborealis #Canada #mybackyard #farmlife

WOW! For the moment, we have reached G5-level storm conditions. Not as strong as the Gannon Storm of May 10-11, 2024, but this #solarstorm is packing a punch! We still have two more yet to go, so let's hope we get a small break between them to allow the power grids a rest!

Oklahoma. I've wanted this shot since I got here. I really didn't think it would be possible TBH. Nature rewards the patient

Hope she holds for you Canada, Alaska and down under...

Great aurora happening now north of Kenora, Ontario! #aurora #northernlights #SpaceWeather Dr. Tamitha Skov

Okay, last one of the night. My 💚 is happy!!! #aurora #northernlights #Auroraborealis

Another fantastic early substorm here. #Aurora was everywhere you looked, including up. Got down on the edge of the ice on the dugout this time. #horses #Auroraborealis #northernlights #mybackyard #Manitoba #Canada #mbwx #shareyourweather

#Aurora, still pretty and still dancing over my little half frozen lake in #Manitoba 11 pm.CT It's been a fantastic two days of aurora!
