Umbras and Penumbras - The Sun is Going Away

[Steve of phpBB]

The Weather Service has a “space weather” page with a forecast for the aurora the next two nights.

A friend in Dayton sent similar photos. So fucking cool. My parents are in Des Moines. No word if they got any of it.

Went outside a couple of times last night, didn't see anything. Must of slept through it.

Apparently it was all over the Arizona sky. Would've liked a heads up on that the way the eclipse was marketed.

Word went out among the weather weirdo community (which I am a part of) about 12-18 hours ahead of time - then pics from Europe including places well south in Europe cashing in and my hopes increased for where I was south of Cleveland. Would really not have guessed that you all could see it as far south as Arizona . What a crazy anomalous event.

My tweet above went mini-popular - 21,000 views - my best ever I would think.

Yea, I thought about my post after the fact and figured an event like that was probably not that known ahead of time.

I saw pics on Reddit the next morning and was like damn. Oddly enough, I actually stayed up late watching TV on Friday but since I wasn't glued to my phone I had no idea.

The sky out here is clear most nights too. Not a lot of light pollution either. The observatory on Mt. Lemmon must have had an immaculate view.

And that's why FOMO is so real.

Apparently, some areas will have a chance at it again tonight.
