[From [email protected]] You can see the Northern Lights very clearly in my backyard. I've only seen them one other time in my whole life so I wanted to share. A few more in the comments.
If it makes you feel a bit better, it doesn't look this colourful to the naked eye. It's normally more of like dynamic, wispy cloud. There are very rare occasions you see some colour, but even then it's not as bright as the photos.
