if you have clear dark skies looking to the north, go outside now! Even reportedlyvisible from some parts of southern England.

I couldn’t see it with my eyes but my phone captured this (near Bath)

Aurora Alert now!

Of course now I can't go to bed, in case they resurge and I have a chance to see them properly. I'm loving all the photos.

I'm on the south coast and just rushed to look out of my north facing bathroom. Could see a moving glow but wasn't sure if my eyes were deceiving me, but used my camera to make a video and they're not! Can clearly see movement in the glow - amazing!

Vintagevixen · 26/02/2023 23:07

Hope you can see it!

Hmmmm light pollution or a tiny hint? Due north, north london.

Aurora Alert now!

Too much cloud. Will try tomorrow 😪

Goodread1 · 26/02/2023 23:09

Did anybody see it all then on here?

Whereabouts did anybody get best of views then?

Obviously I have missed it now some time ago,
I am in South Wales

I wished I had seen your Op Thread earlier

Would I have seen it from my neck of woods if I had seen this thread earlier then?

I am really into stuff like this Thanks

There’s little light pollution where I live in the rural south West Midlands and the stars, moon and planets are all very bright - but no Aurora, sadly.

Papergirl1968 · 26/02/2023 23:11

They've been seen in the Black Country, West Mids, according to my local Facebook page.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 26/02/2023 23:13

It's fascinating how variable peoples experiences are. I have no idea why, other than light pollution and slight changes in geographical position.

Is it still visible?

OhYouBadBadKitten · 26/02/2023 23:17

Apparently yes, still going in some places.

This is the first time I’ve ever had a red alert on my aurora watch app. It’s cloudy here so can’t see anything!

A few people have been adding to this map.

I've installed a compass on my phone 😅

WorkingItOutAsIGo · 26/02/2023 23:20

Raced up to our attic but can safely say not visible in London!

Mothership4two · 26/02/2023 23:20

Southern England with clear skies but zilch. Cat's excited that I was tramping around the garden in the dark!

HeavenIsAHalfpipe · 26/02/2023 23:21

@OhYouBadBadKitten That 'verified tweet' in Birmingham isn't the aurora. It's just a lit up moonlit sky.

I am not a million miles from Birmingham as the crow flies, and there is nothing here.

@OhYouBadBadKitten im.guessing a secret research and development experiment happening that may have gone pickles

buddhasbelly · 26/02/2023 23:22

Now back home after standing on a field. Ten minutes ago from the garden - thanks so much again @OhYouBadBadKitten

Aurora Alert now!
Hawkins003 · 26/02/2023 23:23

Looks a combination of sprite or red lightening, combined with the green auroa

HeavenIsAHalfpipe · 26/02/2023 23:24

Plenty of great aurora pics on here and some on twitter and facebook, but some pics are just the moonlit sky. I think it's people wanting to see it/hoping they have seen it.
