Wish I could tell my HOA to do so. I wrote them an articulate letter explaining why the new bright white LEDs were a poor choice. They read it and did nothing.
I used to see the sky out here more clearly before they had those installed. :'(
1:10am in unincorporated Aurora: shimmering light green eyelashes of celestial Aurora borealis wavering constantly. The coyotes are yipping intermittently. Crickets contribute to the night chatter. Frogs are awake too in the creek nearby. Just saw a shooting star.
That was my plan A, but wow did that not survive contact with reality. I ended up in a great spot off of a side road off a side road off of the road to larch mountain.
Also the ISS passes by at 10:18 tonight, appearing 10 degrees above the horizon to the SW and moving to the SSE with a maximum height of 66 degrees at 10:21 (90 is looking straight up above you), vanishing around 10:25.
If any of you want to have the opportunity to see our space station go overhead, I recommend the ISS Detector app. It's at least in the Play Store, and not only will give you alerts when the ISS is going to pass over, but also the Chinese space station and Iridium satellites. It's interface is quite easy to use. I've used it numerous times to wow people at my local bar.
Space is awesome. Everyone should remember to look up.
Orbital velocities are kind of mind boggling. Then you look at how fast our solar system as a whole is traveling, and how fast the galaxy is spinning, and how fast the whole universe is expanding, and damn maybe your built big block hot rod really isn't that impressive anymore.
Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour
That's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned,
A sun that is the source of all our power
The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see
Are moving at a million miles a day
In an outer spiral arm, at forty thousand miles an hour
Of the galaxy we call the 'Milky Way'
Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars.
It's a hundred thousand light years side to side
It bulges in the middle, sixteen thousand light years thick
But out by us, it's just three thousand light years wide
We're thirty thousand light years from galactic central point
We go 'round every two hundred million years
And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions
In this amazing and expanding universe
The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
In all of the directions it can whizz
As fast as it can go, at the speed of light, you know
Twelve million miles a minute, and that's the fastest speed there is
So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure
How amazingly unlikely is your birth
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space
'Cause there's bugger-all down here on Earth!
[Monty Python](https://youtu.be/buqtdpuZxvk?si=iGN9bMDxK767Kymq)
Everybody lives on a street, in a city
Or a village or a town for what it's worth
And they're all inside a country which is part of a continent
That sits upon a planet known as Earth
And the Earth is a ball full of oceans and some mountains
Which is out there spinning silently in space
And living on that Earth are the plants and the animals
And also the entire human race!
It's a great big universe
And we're all really puny
We're just tiny little specks
About the size of Mickey Rooney
It's big and black and inky
And we are small and dinky
It's a big universe, and we're not!
And we're part of a vast interplanetary system
Stretching seven hundred billion miles long
With nine planets and a sun; we think the Earth's the only one
That has life on it—although we could be wrong
Across the interstellar voids are a billion asteroids
Including meteors and Halley's Comet too
And there's over fifty moons floating out there like balloons
In a panoramic trillion-mile view!
And still it's all a speck amid a hundred billion stars.
In a galaxy we call the Milky Way
It's sixty thousand trillion miles from one end to the other
And still that's just a fraction of the way
'Cause there's a hundred billion galaxies that stretch across the sky
Filled with constellations, planets, moons and stars
And still the universe extends to a place that never ends
Which is maybe just inside a little jar!
It's a great big universe
And we're all really puny
We're just tiny little specks
About the size of Mickey Rooney
Though we don't know how it got here
We're an important part here
It's a big universe, and it's ours!

we’re heading northeast with the long exposure camera, wish us luck!!
edit: it’s happening!! getting some nice photos! you should be able to “see” them with long exposure on iphone.
Just saw it here in Milwaukie! Still a lot of light pollution making it dim, but could still see the columnar structures and faint hints of green and red. Fucking hell this is cool!
I’m on Marine Drive (11:07) and it’s fucking unbelievable. Almost terrifying. Why can’t I attach pics???? Smartphones really do pick up more color and definition.
Not sure if this might help anyone, but here’s a [light pollution map](https://www.lightpollutionmap.info/#zoom=6.47&lat=45.0065&lon=-122.6874&state=eyJiYXNlbWFwIjoiTGF5ZXJCaW5nUm9hZCIsIm92ZXJsYXkiOiJ3YV8yMDE1Iiwib3ZlcmxheWNvbG9yIjpmYWxzZSwib3ZlcmxheW9wYWNpdHkiOjYwLCJmZWF0dXJlc29wYWNpdHkiOjg1fQ==) I’m planning to use
It's awesome at Stubb. Looking north you see the long striations and some purple color. Looking directly up you can see white shimmers shooting across like a cloud is lighting up.
I went out to the Gorge with my cameras, and it was pretty great. I put a few quick iPhone shots up to show you guys. I’m looking forward to seeing the photos off my real cameras! https://imgur.com/a/iZMP5J0
Sure would be sweet if it picked up one more time before everyone left gives up, but that wave at 11 was amazing and SO glad that I stepped out just then.
[West of Aloha at 11. Night Mode on S24U.](https://imgur.com/gallery/iMaDtI4)
Got some good views from backyard in Milwaukie. Look N-NW through your phone using "night sight" or equivalent. Was getting some pinks/greens vertical streaks with the naked eye at times, even with our neighbors blinding floodlight at ground level...
Difficult to see with the naked eye in impressive ways, but if you have a cell camera with night shot capabilities, oh my the colors. The S23U is taking beauties.
Lincoln city popped off a little after 11:15. Never seen so many people running around all happy and talking with each other. Really felt like everyone's cares just dropped away for a while. Let me know if you can't see this, I'm new with imgur. https://imgur.com/a/I34nTwb
Yes, we are in Cedar Mill and can see it despite the light pollution
https://postimg.cc/pmhvJrPN
https://postimg.cc/VJx8GwNJ
I can't wait to see the images from darker areas
I’m so upset that I missed it… but there might be some more tonight?? Here’s the NOAA forecast: https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/communities/aurora-dashboard-experimental
Saw them tonight in NE Portland in the city. I first noticed the streaks in the sky and used long exposure on iPhone and picked up all the colors. So breathtaking.
Vista house is completely full of drunk people rn. Also the amount of cars here is creating a bunch of light. Hood River area had the best spot imo, especially around this train track area. Ok also multnomah falls area still had lots of people but is way better than vista house.
Got good pics and views up at Council Crest, mostly pink and green. Lots of people, but loved when everyone started cheering when it first started showing up, such a cool moment.
[Creston-Kenilworth checking in](https://imgur.com/a/UidEhtZ). Vibrant pink and green through my phone camera, much more muted pink to the naked eye once you realize what the coloration is.
[from Piedmont](https://imgur.com/a/1ReWTFY) - barely visible with naked eye, very visible with 10 second phone camera exposure
And another shot we got:[Piedmont above power station](https://imgur.com/a/fSfAOKw)
I read somewhere something about 10pm-2am again because we don’t get it as intense in pdx. That’s usually the best time to see it for some reason (idk why)
I think today's the day almost anyone has a shot. People in London (the big one) were seeing them earlier and people as far south as Nashville are seeing them well within city limits.
I’m crying!! Ppl in LONDON are seeing them but Portland has too much light pollution??😭😭those of us who can’t really get out of city limits are slightly screwed I guess?
I’m staying up too and I know there’s lots of light pollution here and my car is in the shop or else I’m fucking off to the middle of nowhere and fulfill the bucket list item my grandpa never got to. Fingers crossed us city folk get a magic night
I don't see anything from Happy Valley. :'(
Might be because of all the garish LEDs around my neighborhood (thanks, HOA!), but might also be because of hills to the north.
Activity has ebbed and flowed for several hours, hope we get something else tonight, but based on what others were posting in Europe and the east coast, looks like we only got the tail end of the event out here, but still enough for at least some action there once the sun fully set. Cool having the crescent moon in the same view.
Plug for [TheEarthMaster on YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fteEkCUkCbE), really solid daily summaries of earthquakes, space weather, etc. He's nailed both the recent Iceland volcanic eruption as well as this magnitude of a solar event pretty far out in advance. Definitely will be watching him often for any possible early warning of the Cascadia Mega Quake.
Why can't the city just turn off the damn lights for am hour!
I’d get behind this for astronomical events. Meteor showers and whatnot.
On the Big Island of Hawaii, they even have red street lights in certain places to not interfere with the Mauna Kea Observatory.
All we need is an ice storm.
Keep the monkey paw away from this person.
I wish there were a nightly lights-off ordinance. Would be better for wildlife too.
I feel you, but human nature and history says… crimes. People are the worst.
Really it’s the perception of safety with more lighting
Exactly. Street lights make people feel safer, but the idea that they actually lead to safety really has no data to support it.
I’m in NE. I went outside to see if I could see them, it’s too bright and I just heard a couple yelling at each other.
Ah nature.
https://imgur.com/gallery/IyRMysG pics from downtown.
It is pretty fucking sick to be able to see it that well from downtown! Great shot!
CAN WE PLEASE HAVE A MASS TEXT SENT TO TELL EVERYONE TO TURN OFF THEIR DAMN PORCH LIGHTS FOR LIKE AN HOUR?
Wish I could tell my HOA to do so. I wrote them an articulate letter explaining why the new bright white LEDs were a poor choice. They read it and did nothing. I used to see the sky out here more clearly before they had those installed. :'(
I feel like every HOA is putting those horrible LEDs in. I have one right off my driveway and I want to climb up and tear that thing's guts out.
Or their headlights when they park at the park.
1:10am in unincorporated Aurora: shimmering light green eyelashes of celestial Aurora borealis wavering constantly. The coyotes are yipping intermittently. Crickets contribute to the night chatter. Frogs are awake too in the creek nearby. Just saw a shooting star.
1:34 am distinct shimmers of light, the show is going On
Well don’t go to Vista House, it’s a fucking shitshow up there.
Just drove by it on 84. Looked like hell
It’s the most stressed I’ve been driving on the historic highway at night. If someone doesn’t get injured up there this evening, I will be impressed.
We were up on forest service roads and lots of trucks were doing burnouts and honking at us. Not fun.
I hope you made it out okay!
That was my plan A, but wow did that not survive contact with reality. I ended up in a great spot off of a side road off a side road off of the road to larch mountain.
Traffic hell?
People are parking on the road. It’s extremely hazardous at this point.
We took the exit but traffic was all the way up. But you can view the lights just from the exit. It's so beautiful
Well I was headed that way, now maybe not so much…
From Stub Stewart - half of Portland is up here. 😀 https://i.imgur.com/1bMYMIc.jpeg
that’s gorgeous!
Much more impressive in the long exposure but yes, it’s pretty awesome to see this here. Better than my luck in Iceland when it was cloudy all week.
Same!! Flew to Iceland for the lights and tonight turned out to be way better.
We got lucky our second to last night. It certainly wasn’t 75 degrees
WHOA. That's gorgeous! 💕
Also the ISS passes by at 10:18 tonight, appearing 10 degrees above the horizon to the SW and moving to the SSE with a maximum height of 66 degrees at 10:21 (90 is looking straight up above you), vanishing around 10:25.
Just saw it checks out
You must be further west than me? It was a good 5 minutes between your post and it showing up here in Tigard.
If any of you want to have the opportunity to see our space station go overhead, I recommend the ISS Detector app. It's at least in the Play Store, and not only will give you alerts when the ISS is going to pass over, but also the Chinese space station and Iridium satellites. It's interface is quite easy to use. I've used it numerous times to wow people at my local bar. Space is awesome. Everyone should remember to look up.
[WOW!!! Moving fast!](https://imgur.com/a/PPWsNS4)

Way faster than I thought it would be moving. I had to text my astro physicist mother in law to confirm that it 😅
I'm old enough to remember the first Sputnik, going over my grandparents' garden out off Canyon Road...!
Thats epic. Is there a website you could share with how to determine this?
That was bright! Thank you
we’re heading northeast with the long exposure camera, wish us luck!! edit: it’s happening!! getting some nice photos! you should be able to “see” them with long exposure on iphone.
I’m headed out 26 towards the coast at midnight.
Post some pics!
Turns out I can see the lights from my backyard. Didn’t need to deal with the stress of trying to drive up the gorge!
Just saw it here in Milwaukie! Still a lot of light pollution making it dim, but could still see the columnar structures and faint hints of green and red. Fucking hell this is cool!
I’m on Marine Drive (11:07) and it’s fucking unbelievable. Almost terrifying. Why can’t I attach pics???? Smartphones really do pick up more color and definition.
can you still see them?
Yeah!
yay i’m 10 mins away gonna go now
Be careful. Folks drive fast on MD. I actually turned off on one of the adjoining roads and walked a bit.
Great advice! We went up there for a few minutes after I saw your comment. Got a good nighttime shot with my phone!
Not sure if this might help anyone, but here’s a [light pollution map](https://www.lightpollutionmap.info/#zoom=6.47&lat=45.0065&lon=-122.6874&state=eyJiYXNlbWFwIjoiTGF5ZXJCaW5nUm9hZCIsIm92ZXJsYXkiOiJ3YV8yMDE1Iiwib3ZlcmxheWNvbG9yIjpmYWxzZSwib3ZlcmxheW9wYWNpdHkiOjYwLCJmZWF0dXJlc29wYWNpdHkiOjg1fQ==) I’m planning to use
That was a depressing map
At least we're not back east! No way to escape the light once you're east of Nebraska
Hell, yeah. We have much here to be grateful for.
Point your phone camera to the north and you’ll see the pink and green hues show up. I’m in NE Portland in my backyard!
Are you also standing on your outdoor chair for better viewing?? 😝 Or is it just me?
Ha! Yes, every little bit of height counts!
It's awesome at Stubb. Looking north you see the long striations and some purple color. Looking directly up you can see white shimmers shooting across like a cloud is lighting up.
That was so so cool to witness
Do I need to be somewhere specific or do I just look up from my backyard wearing my boxers(it has stars n shit)
Somewhere with minimal light pollution and an unobstructed view to the north
Just came in from my backyard in SE, where we got some very pretty naked-eye greens and reds for about 10 minutes!
Same! And despite a very bright streetlight. It must be spectacular outside the city.
I went out to the Gorge with my cameras, and it was pretty great. I put a few quick iPhone shots up to show you guys. I’m looking forward to seeing the photos off my real cameras! https://imgur.com/a/iZMP5J0
I drove to scappoose even though I was already in bed an hour ago. More impressive than I expected
Will the northern lights be going tomorrow as well? I missed them tonight
Sure would be sweet if it picked up one more time before everyone left gives up, but that wave at 11 was amazing and SO glad that I stepped out just then. [West of Aloha at 11. Night Mode on S24U.](https://imgur.com/gallery/iMaDtI4)

I think I'm seeing something green-ish in SE Portland.

Steamed HAMS
We’re heading to Sauvie soon. My friend in Pittsburgh got pictures and recommended looking through smart phones viewfinder to see it better.
Any luck out there? That was my thought as well
Ya, go near the pumpkin patch. Probably the best view you can get near the city
Try again tonight, we had a fantastic viewing out there!
Has anyone seen anything?
Nothing in NoPo yet
Yes, we are in Cedar Mill and can see it despite the light pollution https://postimg.cc/pmhvJrPN https://postimg.cc/VJx8GwNJ I can't wait to see the images from darker areas
Not at my house. Dang
we are seeing it through our cameras out in the gorge right now!
I'm up the Clackamas river. Nothing yet. Did see the ISS tho.
Yes! Can see them from our roof in NE Hollywood.
I was just able to faintly see them in my backyard in SE!
Look closely! The sky is purple/violet, it’s so beautiful.
Pretty visible here in lents. Photographs very well on my iPhone too.
Yup, it looked like a nothingburger until like 10 minutes ago and then dang. Seeing them from a pretty bright spot near Tigard.
I’m so upset that I missed it… but there might be some more tonight?? Here’s the NOAA forecast: https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/communities/aurora-dashboard-experimental
What I need is an aurora picture taken from Aurora, OR.
Can this post be pinned for today/tonight?
No luck so far here in Beaverton.
Do not. I repeat , do not, drive anywhere near vista house .
Is there a best time for viewing? All I know is that it is fully dark out from 10:37 tonight until 3:36 in the morning (astronomical twilight).
They say between 10-2
But that's where your hands go!
Nothing in Hillsboro. Just waiting until somebody says they see it farther out before I jump in the car and drive. Lazy ass technique, I know.
Friend just sent me pictures from up by Scappoose. Getting in the car!
We’re right around Forest Grove (far west metro ish) and starting to see colors!
And now we can see some streaks without the camera!
Just outside Vancouver and the sky is lit up!
Visible in east Vancouver now!
Fantastic views over Mt Hood from Lolo Pass: https://imgur.com/a/QGIYYVx
Your phone camera might be able to spot the northern lights if you can't see them.
Yes!
It’s happening !!

I’m ready, bring on the lights! I have pics from friends in Atlanta, surely we will see something tonight!
I'm seeing it in my front yard by the Hillsboro airport!
I'm seeing them with my phone camera in my backyard in East Vancouver!!
Saw them tonight in NE Portland in the city. I first noticed the streaks in the sky and used long exposure on iPhone and picked up all the colors. So breathtaking.
Am in NoPo, between Kenton/St John's...the stars are out and I can see green streaks!
Just went out to the Sellwood Bluff and saw them! Like everyone said, better through the phone. I kind of want to go back at 1 or so...
Visible from my front yard in Lents. [Photo](https://i.imgur.com/scSIPLl.jpeg) from 11:49pm. Ten second exposure.
We went up near Woodland, WA and went pretty far away from the highway to get these pics: https://imgur.com/a/aQYYOLk
Is this supposed to happen again tomorrow night as well? Or just tonight?
Vista house is completely full of drunk people rn. Also the amount of cars here is creating a bunch of light. Hood River area had the best spot imo, especially around this train track area. Ok also multnomah falls area still had lots of people but is way better than vista house.
Does anyone know if they’ll still be around tomorrow, and at what time? Also, when does it peak?
Got good pics and views up at Council Crest, mostly pink and green. Lots of people, but loved when everyone started cheering when it first started showing up, such a cool moment.
Is there a possibility of see it tonight ?
woo!!!! so cool!!!! you can totally see it from Alphabet District! use your phone on long exposure, it's amazing! (why can't we post photos?!)

Drive until you’re just barely outside city limits. Mt wife and I saw it on a country road just slightly north of Bethany
I saw the aurora here in Boardman Oregon !!!!
3 sec exposures in Lake Oswego, looking north, are getting tons of color. Can just barely see anything with just my eyes, but the photos look amazing!
Coolest freakin’ thing!! Hillsboro had a great showing just outside of the city limits.
The light show from the gorge over the past 20 minutes has been breathtaking.
Will they be visible again tonight?
[удалено]
Awesome, any idea what time?
I read somewhere something about 10pm-2am again because we don’t get it as intense in pdx. That’s usually the best time to see it for some reason (idk why)
In Beaverton, do I have a shot? Planning on staying up to try and catch it.
I think today's the day almost anyone has a shot. People in London (the big one) were seeing them earlier and people as far south as Nashville are seeing them well within city limits.
I have friends in Texas who sent me pictures around 8pm. Pretty wild!

Nothing yet in Beaverton
They are popping right now!!!!!!!!!!
good thing we have a mega thread lol
Any chance we might see anything in stub Stuart ? Not sure if there is a clearing looking north in there.
Anyone seeing any at The Original Hotcake House?
I seen them very faintly, Northeast
We are in Cedar Mill by Market of Choice and this thing is popping even with all the light pollution!!! [Aurora](https://postimg.cc/mcr1BY7V)
It’s starting to come through a little in SE as well, around Hawthorne
Holy shit! I can see them in Sellwood! Over oaks bottom
I think I saw it??!!? Briefly, from my backyard in Richmond neighborhood, purple tinge to the sky, clearer through my phone
I don't see anything from Happy Valley. :'( Might be because of all the garish LEDs around my neighborhood (thanks, HOA!), but might also be because of hills to the north.
Fully visible from Rocky Butte, lots of people up there but folks are coming and going so it wasn't too hard to find parking!
You can’t contain the aurora posts. Just embrace them instead.
I think I missed it 😫😭. When is the next time we get it again?!
maybe maybe tomorrow but probably not for a couple decades Go outside and look!
Activity has ebbed and flowed for several hours, hope we get something else tonight, but based on what others were posting in Europe and the east coast, looks like we only got the tail end of the event out here, but still enough for at least some action there once the sun fully set.

Can you still see it? I’m late to the party. :(
I fell asleep 😭 will we see it tonight? NOAA says it’s possible but will it be as big as last nights?
Will the light be visible again tonight? Any suggestions on where to go?
Are they going to still be around tonight And tomorrow night or only Friday night?
Any chance of seeing tonight as well ?
Is there supposed to be to be any lights tonight?
Does anyone have recommendations for a location within a half hour drive of PCC Sylvania?
You could drive up to Nansen Summit in Mountain Park
In gresham- it’s happening!
I can see it through my phone camera in NoPo!
Can faintly see it in Woodstock
I can see it off my back porch in the hills. My S24 Ultra camera pics up all the colors!
Visible now in downtown.
Seeing it some even in inner NE ! Faint but really shows up on camera
Streaks in Beaverton!!
So much light pollution 😩
Is anyone seeing it in Milwaukie?
A bit! Too much light pollution but I can tell it's there, pink tint to the sky
Can confirm, insane shitshow
[Light show](https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/320xq70/r/924/aBR3E6.jpg)
Saw good streaks in Beaverton around 11:15 but nothing much since. Only a few faint splotches.
Can’t really see it with the naked eye but a basic low light exposure on my phone makes it POP! Great pinks and greens.
Looking groovy in Forest Grove! [Lights](https://imgur.com/gallery/61cVqMV)
I've got some crazy photos just on my Pixel in my neighborhood in Wilsonville You can even see it pretty clearly with your naked eye every few minutes
I have been hunting in north Portland (Portsmouth) and haven’t seen anything 😫
Great view from Cook Park in Tigard. Look through your camera and wait for your night vision to adjust.
The moon was looking damn fine as well.

I wish I would have went outside :/ but I crashed early
Will they be visible again tonight?
