Gorgeous! Couldn't quite see them with your own eyes but on night vision, long exposure on your camera, they were clear - and with the plough front and central in the bottom one.

And I used to be a citizen⭐
I also saw them with the naked eye from my garden in Leigh. Never saw them when I went to Iceland!!

Was a bit too cloudy around me last night, but saw them earlier in the year. We're lucky to see them, although at what cost... atmospheric changes due to climate change!?

Climate change does not directly affect the Northern Lights or Aurora Borealis. Auroras occur in the Earth's upper atmosphere, far beyond the layers impacted by climate change. As long as the Sun continues to emit solar winds and the Earth maintains its atmosphere and magnetic field, auroras will persist
The auroras have been particularly visible in 2024 due to the biggest geomagnetic storm since 2003.
The geomagnetic storms that chiefly influence them often originate from the sun, which works on a cycle of around 11 years with peak sunspot activity referred to as solar maximum.
Sunspots give the potential for Earth-directed releases of large bursts of energy, called coronal mass ejections (CME), which can lead to aurora visibility.
Your also seeing them more widely now as everyone is very quick to take to social media with a picture of them, and because most people live their lives now on social media and 11 years ago social media like TikTok, Instagram or WhatsApp was either not yet conceived or still in its infancy.

That's very true - not sure if I'd have seen last night's ones without someone posting on Facebook.
I think I've read that 2025 should be good years for activity - after that less likely for a while?

While HAARP uses high-power radio waves to temporarily excite a limited area of the ionosphere, it cannot control the weather. Weather systems occur in the troposphere, which is much lower in the atmosphere, and HAARP's radio waves do not interact with this layer
So, no, in my opinion HAARP cannot control the weather. It's primarily a research tool to understand the ionosphere better. Even if HAARP had the capability to affect the ionosphere in significant ways, that still wouldn't translate to weather control down here on Earth. It's like trying to change the tide by stirring a spoon in a bathtub. Nature's systems are intricately linked, and human technology isn't there yet
But of course I would say that because I'm a Reptilian. Until next time, may your human skin remain snug and convincing.
