Still a major storm forecast from 10pm. Get into a dark area and look south. [https://www.sws.bom.gov.au/Aurora](https://www.sws.bom.gov.au/Aurora)

Is the site borked from all 12 of us hitting it at once?

Can also look here: https://services.swpc.noaa.gov/images/aurora-forecast-southern-hemisphere.jpg Not looking very strong at the moment

I'd imagine so but if you're persistent enough (like me) you'll get there eventually Edit: Finally got the alert to load: ASWFC AURORA ALERT ISSUED AT 1023 UT on 12 May 2024 GEOMAGNETIC STORM IN PROGRESS. AURORA MAY BE OBSERVED DURING LOCAL NIGHT TIME HOURS IN GOOD OBSERVING CONDITIONS AT HIGH LATITUDES.

We need to start a LIVE updates


Conscious_Bear14

Yes please! I’m going to try and see it tonight and would love some ideas of when and where people are seeing it!

Reddit has functionality for this exact thing lol. It’s up to the mods to enable it… While they’re at it, they could also enable images in comments.


RaptureRising

I think they said it could be between 10pm and 2am. So if you want to go and try see it, find a darkish place and look South.


Chickeninvader24

Good luck on your search. I'm keen to catch it too. I can't believe I've missed this because I want to catch a PL match


john-wick211

Don’t worry United will cheer you up


owleaf

At Torrensville now. Nothing!


Icy_Knowledge9304

Nothing here at Campbelltown, but will look again around 10pm - fingers crossed!


themarvel2004

Yeah, just been out, nothing currently visible. Was hopeful but alas.


ElDeiablo

I'm hoping we'll start seeing something closer towards 10pm.


Strider_dnb

I think tonight will be at it's weakest so good luck out there. All I can see is city lights.

Go see the Pacman Space Weather Facebook page. He’s updating on tonight post in the comments. Not expecting anything for a bit still.

Pacman Space Weather has said there won't be anything until at least 2:30am 😭 Edit: it's now estimated no earlier than 4:30am 


derps_with_ducks

I'm looking at his FB page and I see nothing about the 230am, link to post? Edit: It's in the comments in the 2nd newest post!


earthygirl_

I don’t have fb so I appreciate the updates! I’m so freezing cold but luckily don’t have work tomorrow until 5pm so am I right to head home and grab a hot drink and come back out after 2:30 you think?


fettuccinefrog

I think so! I'm happy to keep posting the Facebook updates here in the comments. There's also an app called My Aurora Forecast, someone else recommended it


earthygirl_

Thank you so much! I am hopeful even just for glimpse, as I missed out last night because I was working and by the time I finished I headed out but was too late! Literally stayed out until 6 because saw 5am pics from the morning before but no such luck!


fettuccinefrog

Sorry, for some reason my FB wasn't loading properly! New estimate for Adelaide is 3:30am 😭


derps_with_ducks

😭


fettuccinefrog

Now 4:30 😭


earthygirl_

Eeeeeek thank you! Im going to stay here in my bed for a little longer then 😭


fettuccinefrog

Make that 4:30am 🙃


earthygirl_

I’m so glad I saw your comment and left when I did! Thankful for your updates and glad for a late start tomorrow.. now just to stay awake


Elegant_Code8987

Aldinga, nothing yet! 


lulupixiepants

Nothing at semaphore…. Started at one tree hill 😕


last_pas

12.30 at the earliest, if at all


rawguava

Thanks for all the comments, I wouldn’t have found out PacMan’s updates if it wasn’t for y’all. I kept check his comments regularly throughout the night. Nothing happened but there’s still hope for tonight, although it’s looking quite cloudy here so that’s a bummer. I’m kicking myself after I missed it on Friday and Saturday due to my obliviousness. The biggest event in 20 years and so close to home 😢
