Aurora from the mid Atlantic at 40k ft

We’re in Germany for a few days catching up with family. This was the best my iPhone could capture of the aurora last night:

The flight path Denver to Frankfurt took us quite far south - we crossed the coast of Ireland near Galway, so I guess this was quite a strong event for lower latitudes.

I saw some reports from Colorado too overnight. Anyone else capture it?

It was visible as far south as the Texas panhandle and Northern New Mexico. I saw some phenomenal images from near Lake Champlain NY.

I hate that I missed it here. I went out around ten but it appears that it peaked after midnight.

Regards

I’m hoping we’ll have some more chances before this current solar cycle gets too far past peak (which I think is due around next July?)

I have crossed the Atlantic at night more than 100 times and never, ever seen an aurora borealis. Lucky you!
