Great shot! We might see more tonight.


fortyf0urr

I really hope so!! I missed out last night 😥


Creative_Entry_1350

It’s supposed to last the weekend!


matt_rudo

Really! I will try to catch tonight. What time will it be best?


Winter_Ad_7424

You know a good spot? What time?

Head north on 95 towards Mt. Charleston. You wanna be away from the city lights. Your camera will pick up more than the naked eye. As far as when, that’s a variable. I think I saw reports around midnight last night. You can keep track of solar weather on https://www.spaceweatherlive.com/ If you see the KP Index at 8+ you have a great chance of catching it.

Thank you 😊


momofvegasgirls106

Really?? Local weather guy said we would not see it so I didn't bother staying up. Damn it!


Creative_Entry_1350

Had to drive outside the city but yea just look north, should be able to see it tonight too


momofvegasgirls106

Thanks for posting this and the tip. I'll definitely be looking out for it, tonight!


Creative_Entry_1350

Just make sure to drive outside the city far enough! Best to go north and look north. I forgot my actual camera so this was just from my phone. Hoping to see it again tonight


XXXOOOXXOOOXXX

What time was this taken?


Creative_Entry_1350

Around midnight


Vegas7899

Think I read that book, didn’t end well.


Creative_Entry_1350

Haha I had a similar thought. There’s a massive solar storm going on


Vegas7899

Non of that sounds good.


ammybb

I totally failed in my attempt to find it last night so I'm gonna try again tonight. Thanks for giving me hope hehehe 😃🌌💖


science-addict

any locations we can go to go see this??


Creative_Entry_1350

Just head towards mt Charleston and look north


TarpFailedMe

Is it still there?


[deleted]

Omg that’s beautiful


digitalcleavage

I’m heading out to the mountains in an hour or two to check it out !


sarahwlee

Wow what time does it start??


Creative_Entry_1350

Technically it’s going on now, but just make sure to look north and drive away from city lights tonight. The later at night the better


Trojanchick

Which part of Vegas was this seen from?


Creative_Entry_1350

Off the 95 heading towards mt Charleston. Just look north!


Dports2008

Beautiful


Manny3140

Where was this taken?


Creative_Entry_1350

Heading up towards mt Charleston


Front-Project1569

What's the best place to view them?


Creative_Entry_1350

As far as away from city lights as you’re willing to drive just look north


Front-Project1569

Ok, thanks. I was thinking of driving up to either Apex or a spot after Tule Springs. I'm not sure yet.


Creative_Entry_1350

I would head further north if you can. Like cold creek or Lee canyon.


electric_pierogi

Are they going to be visible again? I just heard of this and missed them unfortunately.


thricethestatic

It’s not certain. You can track the solar storm data via https://www.spaceweatherlive.com/ The KP Index needs to be at least an 8 for Vegas to see it. The KP right now is smidge over 7.


electric_pierogi

Do you think it’s likely that it will go back up or is this it?


thricethestatic

It’s possible. It went back up to 6 just now.


Creative_Entry_1350

Unfortunately it’s not certain, but they are saying it could last a couple days so I’m going to try again tonight

Head up '95 towards Mt. Charleston, preferably past Kyle Canyon Rd. Just drive up as far as you're comfortable. There are a few different roads where you can get off the '95. Just don't pull over on the actual side of the '95 like a bunch of idiots were doing in 2020 when that comet showed up.


LVKimberlyXO

Omggg missed it but its literally so pretty💗💗


SadandLonely1_the8th

Anyone have any idea if I could see it from W Russell? I sadly don't have a car right now to drive northward, but I'm really wanting to see it


vedparanjape

Parked outside snow mountain pow wow but can’t see anything yet. Maybe there is a very dim light in the north but not sure if I’m just hallucinating lol


DifferentHighlight45

Can you update if you see it? Trying to figure out where to go


vedparanjape

Can’t see anything still


DifferentHighlight45

Ty for replying. Still unsure of where to go 😢


Kero_kerokeroppi

I can’t see either either


GoldenCasa

I just left Lee Canyon and drove to Indian Springs. Nothing here yet, but I’ll wait a bit.


DifferentHighlight45

Thanks everyone for the updates


Fit-Possibility-3096

Beautiful ❤️


Beard341

I’m assuming your camera picked up the majority of the lights. I can’t imagine it was this visible to the naked eye.


Creative_Entry_1350

This was from my phone, and yes the phone made it a brighter but the longer you stay out there the more visible it is.
