Me going a lil crazy

(Sorry, my crappy phone can't take better videos)

[Manz @AndreaManzin2]

@MShil716 Those ones from australia 27-03-2017 are just driving me crazy.

They seem to be so tall and far away from the observers they challenge what we currently know about auroras.

I have a headache just thinking about it hahah

[Manz @AndreaManzin2]

I'm so confused by the australian GBRs.. it seems like they are some 4000km away... at that distance, the earth curvature should hide more than 1000km...

[Manz @AndreaManzin2]

@MShil716 Well, no hypotheses yet. Im just trying to figure out how big those rays can be.

I'm currently working on some rays visible from Australia but N hemisphere looks more promising

I have a couple more events I want to classify, then I guess I can try figure out how they work

[Manz @AndreaManzin2]

Step one: find exact locations✅️
(Old in blue, updated in pink)

[Manz @AndreaManzin2]

Fuckk my times and location were all quite a bit off, I was able to find some of the original posts and exact times :)

I need some more research and then I can finally move to triangulating stuff hehhe

[Manz @AndreaManzin2]

@aurorausau Good idea, thank you

[Manz @AndreaManzin2]

Anyone can help me find satellite pics of the area between Tasmania, New Zealand, and Antarctica at 17:50 UTC 28-03-2017?

I spent way too much time on this, but to no avail :/

[Manz @AndreaManzin2]

I hope I didn't cause too much hype but I think the 4200km estimate might be completely wrong

Maybe next time I should wait for "official results" before tweeting🫠

(They are definitely very tall, but my initial estimate had an error)

[Manz @AndreaManzin2]

@WickyDubs2 exactly!

(I have some stuff to do but I'm here running numbers on my pc hahaha)

[Manz @AndreaManzin2]

OMG

First quick estimate from this facebook post gives me a 4200km tall GBR

(first approx estimate using only two observers. Will be refined later)

[Manz @AndreaManzin2]

@ThreeDeDaniel @JAtanackov well, a good chunk of the aurora we see isactually in space.

The lower edge can push as low as 80km (nitrogen pinks) while greens can go up to some 150km.

Reds can be commonly found in the 150-300km range and even higher up during strong storms.

Blue on the other hand....

@MShil716 @JAtanackov @landon_wx @weather_buffalo @news4buffalo Great catch!

[Manz @AndreaManzin2]

@Nadojuice It looks like you caught a STEVE

Back to aurora triangulations

This time Giant Blue Rays from Australia

[Manz @AndreaManzin2]

A nice welcome back to Italy

I love my trains when the AC isn't working and the entire train was left in the sun for hours before boarding���💕

[Manz @AndreaManzin2]

@JAtanackov "IF" on the nearside, it should be on the east limb. There's a chance of being hit if it happened on the west ;)

[Manz @AndreaManzin2]

Finally saw them irl

[Manz @AndreaManzin2]

@mohartl @SonjaHartl7 For me (lived all my life at the border with slovenia without living all the jugoslavia stuff) it sounds so weird when my parents tell me all their stories about living on the border etc

It seems like something of another time but it was just a few years back

It's so weird
