They were spectacular last nite huh Applekisses...WOW!!!

All the color too..and here Northern Michigan..across the bay..could see 'em clearly..


Stood out on the dock and watched for the longest time..seemed they lasted for a long time.. One of my favorite things to see in Northern Michigan...

They were BEAUTIFUL here in Northern Minnesota too ~ and went on for hours

I had never seen so much red in them before, it was truly amazing!

I only had a street light outside my window to look at

Sounds like the lights were lovely glad you all enjoyed them

I saw them too! I'd never seen them before, it was SO COOL. From looking at pictures, I never realized that they stream and shimmer and move like they do. Awesome.

ya know...i was riding my bike home from work last night...and looking up into the sky like i couldnt believe me eyes!!!
i was imagining how they must have looked out in the country....or somewhere where there werent as many lights as there are where i live. they still were awesome though

violett said:

Totally. The light pollution here is pretty bad, and I think that made the colors look a lot less dramatic.

I called my parents to tell them to go outside and look, though, and they live way out in the boonies. I need to call them and get a report.

I feel so lucky to have gotten a lunar eclipse and northern lights so close together and both on clear nights.

I'm such a nerdball.

althom said:

That is torture, not the Northern lights..

tackam said:

tackam said:

OMG! I'm so glad you guys got to see them! I wish I was out in the country too...it was so amazing!
At least this is something to make up for the frigid winters, huh?

Pip...you're so lucky you live up there! I'm sure you saw so much more than I did.

Dude, I totally saw them too. I took my dogs for a walk at about 10 last night. At first I didn't notice anything. We live right on Lake Huron; just step out the front door and you're on the beach basically. When I looked East I thought, hmmm, the moon must be coming up behind the clouds cuz that's awfully bright. Then I started heading South. After a minute or two I realized it was too bright considering there was no moon. Then I looked up.

I've honestly never seen anything like it. I've seen Northern Lights before but only a little patch and it wasn't moving. It started in the North and a little bit East and just kept coming until it filled the whole sky. It was constantly moving, shifting and bending. It's impossible to describe really. I didn't see any super intense greens, but a lot of whites, blues and pinks. The whole sky looked like it was melting. Truly spectacular.

It felt like a little gift from the universe in a year when everything's been a trial. I loved it. I probably just stood on the beach for two hours just staring up. Everything was super clear too because the beach is about a quarter mile away from the main roads. I even saw a shooting star that moved slowly across the sky and then burned up in the atmosphere. Lovely!

Weren't they incredible? I'm so glad you got to see them...I'm sure it was just magical watching them over Lake Huron

I had never seen them before, either...I felt really blessed because I've always wanted to!
We're supposed to be able to see them again tonight! Keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars

I was driving home from work around 11pm heading north and saw them. I thought it was the reflection of the city lights on my very dirty windshield at first.

applekisses said:

Yes, they were breathtaking. They're supposed to be for 3 nights straight with the 3rd night being the most intense. I was afraid we wouldn't get a chance to watch tonight cuz it's been cloudy all day, but it just cleared up. This is right around the time I noticed them last night. Keeping my fingers crossed.

violett said:

Oh, I'm ok, all things considered. I miss you too.

The eclipse was way cool, but I think the northern lights are cooler.

GangstaFam said:

I haven't seen anything yet tonight, have you? OH...and is the third night tonight or tomorrow night? I haven't seen anything tonight.

Andrea I deeply hope I get to experience that someday!

Amazing!

Muse2NOPharaoh said:

I hope you do too, hon! It's an amazing thing mother nature at her finest
The only thing...is that it means that you'll have to spend some chilly winter nights here in the northeast or midwest!

applekisses said:

Work with me here! How chilly are we talkin'?


I am sure I can get over it.. I already commited to Byron to return to Minne with him... I did mention if he selects 20 below it means war!

Muse2NOPharaoh said:

It was only in the 20s last night and we got the northern lights here. You can handle 20 degree weather, can't you?

MrJoker said:

It was warmer than that here in Detroit...right now it's 32°F here

MrJoker said:

20? That is like 11 BELOW freezing?

I can say with certainty that I planned my trip perfectly!

Muse2NOPharaoh said:

More like 12 below freezing..
