Actually wait they’re both auroras but I think only the lower left one is borealis. The lower left is Spain and the large piece of land is Africa

Not dumb at all! North is bottom left-ish. Red = Iberian Peninsula (Spain + Portugal) and yellow is Africa. I didn’t close it because I can’t really tell where it goes but it’s Western Africa.

This is of the night side of earth (you can kinda see the sun peeking around the planet) which gets no light, meaning that the photo had to be artificially brightened a lot, making it grainy

The aurora borealis? At this time of day? In this part of the country? Located entirely within your Yik Yak feed?
