Northern lights!

The camera in my kitchen window has a night vision lens and it's picking up the Northern Lights beautifully! I can't see it with my own eyes though because the street light is too bright. Amazing green and pink colors showing up though! I've never seen them this intense!

Edited to add another picture! Wow!!! Really intense pink now!

@LdyBugz. Our local meteorologist in Albuquerque said you have to get away from city lights to an area that's absolutely dark, like the mountains.

Cool picture.

@Kachina624. If I didn't gave my jammies on already, I would drive around and try to find a spot that didn't have street lights or store lights. 😃

If you Google "Northern Lights New England", there is a Facebook page where prople are posting their pictures. Absolutely beautiful and amazing!

Just took this photo from my deck. I live in the middle of Nebraska. It is supposed to be even brighter tomorrow.

@hullie. Stunning! Isn't it amazing?! The colors are so intense and vibrant. Supposed to be cloudy tomorrow in my area so I'm glad I got to see this tonight!

Yes, Conditions are right for these Aurora lights. I didn't realize they were so wide spread?

I have only seen white streaks. Further North in Northern Minnesota they are often visible and tonight is a good night. Usually they come very late or early A.M. but it was mentioned visible at dark Dinner hour tonight. Viewers send in photos to news stations. So pretty.

People travel to Scandinavia to see them and here we are a gift to us as well in sections of the USA.

@Kachina624 my neighbor just sent me pictures she took from her backyard. We don't have any back neighbors so it is pretty dark. The pictures were much more vivid than what I saw with the naked eye.

They are visible on cameras in the San Antonio area.

@rockygems123 Spectacular photo! Love how the aurora reflects on the water. So pretty! Thank you for sharing.

I'm not seeing much tonight. It's cloudy here, but it does seem like the sky has a faint pinkish cast in some spots. I hope there's better viewing in other parts of the country, especially for those that missed it yesterday.
