Last night my friend who is stationed in Quantico, Virginia sent me a few photos of the WILD Northern Lights display and I couldn’t help but share! Sadly I live south of the Capitol in DC so the lights washed out my view.

this territory is moderated

I'm pretty sure these views weren't very visible with the naked eye. I thought I might have seen a slight pinkish tint to the sky naked eye, but my daughter was looking through her iphone with "night" or dark settings on, and got photos like this.

In Wisconsin they were visible with the naked eye! I have a coworker whose back at home and sent us pictures I will share later!

Seems like its a world wide phenomenon. I see pics going around of the southern lights in Australia too.

Interesting I knew the Northern hemisphere was getting hit but I didn’t think about the southern! Makes sense though!

A past episode has covered this. The cameras in phones are ENHANCING the photos and so the photos may not be exactly what is going on.

So these two were naked eye in Wisconsin!

She she enhanced them with night mode it looked like this

Much more vivid and saturated for sure
