Back in the fifties, we saw auroras from East Tennessee. As kids we were told that it was due to the atmospheric testing of nuclear weapons.

Nice job.

Awesome. I used to see the aurora while stationed in Labrador but never with this much color.

Great picture. The stars are so clear.

As a child, I saw the Aurora Borealis three times in the Panhandle of Texas…beautiful!

I wish I can experience that one day.

This is an image of the aurora down the street.

I thought I felt the earth curving kinda strangely last night. Or was that the Jamesons?....

Nice pic!

Excellent work. City lights and skyline, and always a challenging latitude, prevented our seeing even a soft glow, leaving no way to take advantage of the storm or of an old Moon.

As kids we were told that it was due to the atmospheric testing of nuclear weapons.

Today's kids are likely being told that it is due to "climate change"
