I can actually see a bit of unusual colouring and contours in the sky, very slight though

Very bright over Sheffield. Visible to the naked eye - for anyone with a good phone, do a night vision photo and you'll see the colours. For me its directly over head and not to the north too.

Really clear! Especially so when you take a photo! Get your phones out in night mode and it’s beautiful

Supposed to be even better tonight apparently. What is the best time to see it? Or does it just vary ?

Supposed to be even better tonight apparently. What is the best time to see it? Or does it just vary ? I decided to go on a hunt (ie find a dark place) about 10.15 and got there about 10.45 and it started being not visible with the naked but green on pictures and then by about 11.30 it was a spectacular show with the naked eye and vivid colours when you took a picture. I think it’s just luck though. Depends how strong the magnetic storm is. But there’s accounts on twitter that can tell you that

Awesome classic strain TBF, would be very fitting to be vaping it whilst watching the light show, unfortunately Curaleaf don't stock it 🙂

I used to see them quite a bit when I lived up in North Dakota. Absolutely stunning and humbling at the same time.

Any connection with yesterday's solar flare activity? Yep, charged particles from the Sun get spun around by the Earth's magnetic field and funnelled to the magnetic poles. When the particles smack into the atmosphere the energy comes out as lights. Solar flares send a load of powerful particle "fuel" that revs up the lights. There are both northern and southern lights because Earth's got two magnetic poles, but noone gives a shit about the southern ones. (Yeah I know it's nerdy shit but you asked for it)
