I would like to, but I am badly situated. I am too close to city loom, and there may be some cloud cover later. But damn, I’m going to try!

@canidmajor

Do you live in the NJ-NY area?

As I recall, we have recently active jellies living in Oregon, Idaho, Colorado, Kansas, Nebrasky, Minnesoda, Missouri, Wisconsin, Illinois, Joisey, New Yak, Messychussetts, and Connecticut?

Perhaps it will also be viewable from Germany.

No, I’m sorry to say. I’m not in viewing range. That is one thing I’ve always wanted to see.

@Brian1946 Yeah, you forgot WV! If I am still awake, I will go look. Hopefully it won’t be too cloudy.

@chyna

Oh yeah?! Well you forgot that I also forgot British Columbia, Alberto, and Poland! ;p

I saw them a number of times when I lived in VT, but am going to try again since it’s been years.

It is 12:15 AM . I am looking out over Lake Ontario. It is 42F, 5C outside now.
Sadly, I only see scattered clouds. Darn!
I’ll give it a few more minutes then I’m going back to a nice, warm bed.

LuckyGuy's avatar

Didn’t see anything. I could look to the southeast and see the orange “Rochester nebula” on some of the clouds.
Oh well… Back to bed!

Zip, nuffin, nada. Too much city loom, hazy sky. :-(

I looked for them last night, but I couldn’t see them. Apparently in Maryland you could only see a bit of a glow on the horizon although I saw some neat pictures on Facebook.
