I heard the aurora would be visible in Netherland, so living in Amsterdam I just went outside to check. Nothing. Maybe some very vague lighter bands in some places? Cities have too much light for this sort of thing.


You're in the most light-polluted region of the continent. Unlikely you can see anything I'd wager x)


I saw visible pink bands from my balcony in Amsterdam, showing bright pink fading to green when looking through my iPhone. And yes, lots of light pollution here. Shows how crazy strong this northern light was.


You have to drive away from the city lights, turn off screens/lights, and let your eyes adjust. Cities are light polluted.
