    Nice. Enjoy being able to see the sky before wildfire season gets going.

    I'd also like to point out that you don't need to have a fancy camera to get good pictures. A lot of cell phones will take really good photos as long as you're using the right settings.

    I live in Dallas, and the total eclipse was something spectacular, but DAMN, I’m jealous we can’t see this down here!!

    9:57 it wouldn't have been just Minnesota. Anyone in a similar latitude to us would have been able to see them at the same time. Longitude would have only made a difference if it was shortly after dusk or before dawn in your location. In Norwood Young America they were visible the whole night, faint at sometimes but then swirling and dancing in every direction but down.

    This may look beautiful, however we really should begin to consider what we can do to protect ourselves against these Solar rays. It's really NOT good for our planet. Nothing is mentioned & I pray more Docu's will begin to educate Govt's abroad & people how awful these Solar Storms are. 😢 "Isa"

    KP isn't the most important number when it comes to the northern lights. I was in Princeton MN, and even people in Iowa have seen them when the KP was only 3.

    In 2003 did they see northern lights as far south as this time?
  • @Lana5
    Don’t be excited it is a very bad sign! Get educated what can happen next!!!

    A prophetic message was sent last year and was shared that when the northern lights are observed throughout the world it's a warning from God to beware that three days off darkness are near. Just sharing the story.

    Question for America! Joe 'Lyin' Biden challenged President Trump to a debate and put 12 demands on how the Debate would proceed. President Trump accepted the Challenge and the demands but on one condition, Joe 'Lyin' Biden and himself, take a Drug Test before the Debate begins. Seems reasonable, why would Joe 'Lyin' Biden refuse? -&-765
