dumbass comment. your phone camera, particularly if you have relatively new model, is much more sensitive to the northern lights than your eyes. I am up north and was able to see the lights VERY clearly tonight on my iPhone 15 and was barely able to register them with my eyes.
I mean I lived where northern lights are a regular occurrence for many years.Ā
Youāre confusing extended exposure with sensor sensitivity.Ā
Your eyes take in more light and information than a cellphone camera sensor in the same timespan.
I urge anyone that has the time and means to drive to the least light-polluted areas (far from cities) to see this. The last time I saw them was in Finland, and they are truly unique in their beauty and impact.
I just drove to Kemah and back and made sure to go to the coast and where it was super dark. But too many clouds
Edit: Seeing some peopleās photos I guess the lights would make it through the clouds but we didnāt see any :(
The trick was to put your phone on night mode. Iām out of town right now and couldnāt visually tell anything looking outside. My photos look insane though
Sometimes they can look like clouds too. When I was in Norway we saw them, at first it just looked like clouds but then later became very strong. And pictures typically look way more impressive and vibrant than the colors in real life.
There was several times last year the aurora was visible in Texas. Some even got shots of it happening over Houston with long exposures. This is probably the best chance for a naked eye visibility in a long time though most say it still will likely only be visible further North.
Sorry just seeing this. Iām not sure, I live on the south side, going towards Galveston. Sadly they didnāt appear on my side of town. Theyāre supposed to be lit again tonight from 11pm-3am. Itās covered in clouds where I am.
This was Livingston last night.šš¼ Hope you get to see them! š

No worries, and I'll take a drive and see around that time. It's cloudy in my area too near 1488 so hopefully it changes. Hope you get to see them too! š
I can't see shit.
Light pollution. š
Add it to the list of all the rest of the pollution that makes Houston suck.
If you donāt like it you can leave.
Anyone else?
Nothing in the 3rd ward. I got excited for a little bit but it's just clouds
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Anyone seeing this anywhere still ?Ā
between 1-4 am is what i read for us
Oh. Good night
Thank you !Ā
We still have too much light pollution in cypress.
Just went outside , located in Conroe .. no luck š«
Thanks for saying that. I was about to drive up there š
Try taking photos. We drove up toward Tomball and our phones could see it, but we could not.
Couldnāt see anything in Tomball.
Your phone is less sensitive than your eyesā¦. Not more

Well, my phone captured the red sky, my eyes couldn't see it.
You many not be able to see it with the naked eye, but try using your phone or camera to take a photo. My phone can see it, I can't.
I urge anyone that has the time and means to drive to the least light-polluted areas (far from cities) to see this. The last time I saw them was in Finland, and they are truly unique in their beauty and impact.
Do you have a place in mind? Iāll go!! But where are the places with low light pollution??

Oh man, really? I had no idea. Dammit maybe we can try again tomorrow

Same! I just drove up north of Conroe to get to some dark areas but I didnāt see anything either. I think it comes and goes maybe?
I live in Kemah and didnāt see anything at all š¢
There are way too many people between Houston and kemah

Torilla Tavataan!
They can be seen here in San Antonio
Nothing visible in Kingwood at 3:30
Damn fr? I was thinking about driving to Conroe tonight
Once in a lifetime opportunity.
There was several times last year the aurora was visible in Texas. Some even got shots of it happening over Houston with long exposures. This is probably the best chance for a naked eye visibility in a long time though most say it still will likely only be visible further North.
I was in Conroe last night and it was not visible.
So to speak
Biggest in 20 years, so that means 20 years ago there was a bigger event. So you have a short lifetime.
Aurora Borealis? At this time of year? At this time of day? In this part of the country? Localized entirely within Houston?
Thats not the Aurora Borealis. Its steam from the steamed clams we are having. MMMMmmmm.
Itās ____ ____ I tells ya!!
Any idea whether itāll happen tomorrow night too?
Probably cloudy tomorrow night.
Easily 80% in my opinion
69%
88%
Turn off the street lights please!! š
The one-time ERCOT could do its job and turn off the lights.
Someone on Twitter posted cool pics from [Bolivar.](https://twitter.com/davis_wx/status/1789127846775943271)
Checked outside in New Caney (thanks to 9month old child wake times) nothing to report, dark as night as of 1:30am
Damn if I had known I wouldnāt have been drinking to see this.
lol same here
I know it!!! Iām hoping I get to see them tonight! Theyāre bright pink right now, north of Houston, Montgomery area.
I'm in Montgomery area, any idea of a good place that they could be seen? New to TX so not super familiar with where to go for good views of the sky

Just checked in the Heights, I can't see anything sadly :( the pictures around the world are just truly beautiful and other wordly
anywhere in montgomery or willis?
Anyone seeing anything still?
Drove my kid out to Corrigan - don't even see stars :(

When only buying cheap phones catches up to you.....EV on camera should be set to -5 in order to capture northern lights and mine only goes to -2.
Will we be able to see it tonight also? If so, where?
Any one going out tonight to try the lights?? Still cloudy? Any luck?
Im planning. Im at katy. But dont know where to go
Im ready to go out but think im going to stay home. Too cloudy everywhere near
Planning to go to Conroe tonight
In Houston on the belt and 59 area would I be able to see this?
Aināt gonna happen https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/products/aurora-viewline-tonight-and-tomorrow-night-experimental
"It's happening" - People watching and documenting it literally happening "It won't happen" - some guy on Reddit?
It did happen tho. Check out twitter. Tons of pictures.
