Wow you can see the aurora in Wisconsin?? Then shouldn't I be able to see it here in Washington State? Washington is a bit further north than Wisconsin... I've never seen it here before though.
Live in northeast WI south of GB and I've only really saw them once but it was mesmerizing, definately living farther north when I'm older so I can see this all the time.
I see this on the sky in my home sometimes at this time of the year. Sometimes, I stop, and lie down in the snow and smile while gazing up at the sky, ignoring everything else, saying not a word.
@thesecession No, but not too far away. Make sure you are on the south end of a lake with a clear view of the northern horizon if you want the best view. Looks like tonight or tomorrow night will be good for northern lights. If you're up there, get out!
i know that aurora borealis are not quite predictable, but how do you know when they are more likely to appear? Iam a student in Madison, i would love to see one before i finish school and move from here!!! one of my dreams too!

@alternateshadow300 Yes, you can see them. They are more commonly seen in northern WI, and they are tied to the solar cycle. We are just past solar minimum right now, and the frequency and strength of the aurora should pick up in the next few years.
I wish I could see one in real life. I've only seen pictures and time lapses (like this). They're really beautiful from what I've seen on the internet, though.
I saw them many years ago in southwest WI. I woke up in the middle of the night and didn't know why, so I went for a walk. When I saw the northern lights, I realized they were so bright that that's what woke me up. It was a magical moment.
I saw some lights when I was in Wautoma,on a lake,about 17 years ago.Not sure what direction we were facing,but it had to have been north.Wasn't sure you could see these in Wisconsin,So now I know I wasn't seeing things. :)
Yeah well the belt of lines in the purple-blue-green area becomes from molecular ion of nitrogen when an electron colides with a molecule of nitrogen.. Strong green line radiates from oxygen atoms in metastable state stimulated by electrons.. they last 1 sec on average.. Red lines are also oxygen in post-metastable state.. those last over 3 mins on average as at 300 km of height air is so rare so atoms don't colide with other molecules so often and last longer..
Auroras are produced by the collision of charged particles from Earth's magnetosphere, mostly electrons but also protons and heavier particles, with atoms and molecules of Earth's upper atmosphere
I used to live in NC and I actually saw the northern lights there ONE time, it was red and really pretty; I've got family in Alaska who see it all the time and was kinda bummed I only got to see it once.
Thanks, I was homesick. I'm from Oshkosh, WI and sometimes saw the northern lights. Down there it was always green. I live in Georgia now, you can see lots of stars but no Aurora
It varies, but yes, either in the far north or in Antarctica. Occasionally they can be seen from far southern New Zealand or Tasmania. In the nothern hemisphere, they are easily seen in northern Sweden, Finland and Norway, Siberia, Alaska, Canada.
Get away from the city lights or by a large body of water that you can face north towards. I saw a brief one in the UP late summer in Gogebic County looking north over Lake Gogebic. It was white no colors. Saw one last year driving down a country road around this time of the year. I'm 47 and have seen ones with colors only twice. I discribed it aways back in these comments. Keeping looking up and north your bound to see one.
Wow, I want experience one of these in real life... Poor, poor Pengy. But... Pengy lives in sweden, so Pengy can go north to Kiruna and see. Yay for Pengy!
Btw, all who likes Auroras: There is a projector that makes an Aurora light. It is called Genso Kukan Aurora Projector. Look it up on google! From Japan, it looks real neat!
until about an hour from its beginning it joined together south to west with a hole of stars as its cap.We spoke very little during this. We mainly would make utterances of "wow" and "I don't believe what I am seeing" and just laughing at awesomeness of it. We wanted to go find others to join us but were so perplexed neither of us wanted to tear away and miss any of it.
At first is was like a transparent chartreuse curtain folding repeatedly into itself. It then stretched out to almost due east. Reds and yellows then joined the scheme, then purple all colors fluorescent and transparent folding in and out of each other now spreading northwest then the colors abandoned there folding curtain routine and began pulsating and rising higher and higher into the sky,
I lived in a small suburb of Milw. WI then right on Lake MI. It started shortly after sunset on the northeast horizon. this is best I can describe it.
Pictures or videos cannot truly capture the beauty of an aurora borealis. Somewhere between 1989-91 a friend and myself witnessed one of the greatest events of northern lights ever. I have looked at quite a few pics and vids here and none have matched up to that fall night back then.
I knew the stars appear to move across the sky as the night progresses, but I didn't see it here till I read your note. Thanks! Is that the Big Dipper that moves from the left toward center? Amazing job w/ the time lapse!
I think the fact that the stars are "moving" shows it's timelapse (well it's more the motion of the earth rotating against the backdrop of stars) - it all combines to an amazing effect though - stunning vid, I love it!
ohhhhhhhhhhhhh...this is beautiful. I have always wanted to see the Aurora, but have never been to the Northland. Until I can, I will view this again and again--added to favorites. Thank you!
Check out the stars moving round the star that stays still... pretty far north, huh? Awesome video. I will definitely make it a priority to see this for myself before I die!
i have grown up with the northern lights all my life living in orkney, an thay still amaze me, such an amazing sight, so uncommon aswell, everyone should see it!!!
I'm living in Northern Northern Canada right now, see them weekly, but normally only the green shimmer, just before Christmas I saw the most incredible display, every color of the rainbow...just like the ones in the movie 8 below, it was mind blowing...everyone stopped what they were doing to watch them
Charged particles emitted from the sun get trapped within the earth's magnetic field at the poles and some come close enough to collide with air particles, creating light.
wow! is this video real? wow! breathtaking! thank you :) to watch an aurora is one of my deepest dreams :) thank you :) God really has so many wonders to amaze us :) this beautiful sight is undeniably a wonder to behold :)
somthing i have to see before i die...(est. 60+ years) and hes looking north with the camera, he caught the north star in it so it seems like it doesnt move
Yes, WI. That is from northern WI. Due to the geomagnetic poles location, we are more likely to see aurora in WI than almost anywhere else in the lower 48 states. You just have to know when and where to look.
The stars closest to the north star will not appear to move--not in this short of a time frame, and at such a short focal lenght--and of course, the north star will not move at all.
i'm living at 51° latitude so actually even further north than wisconsin .... but on the wrong continent. so i never will see them
