You may know this already, but just in case you don't, you can't always see it with the naked eye. Try putting your phone camera in dark mode and take a picture towards the northern sky. You might get lucky. I didn't know that till last night. I'm in a town with too much light and trees to my north but when I saw someone comment that on Facebook I tried it and I got a little color. Nothing like a lot of people are posting but it was something, even though the sky just looked black to me. I'm still not checking it off my bucket list yet though.

@LindaC616 27 дней назад
