I was hoping my cell phone would stop working, it did not. Ah well, maybe at another sun spew event it will happen. Yes, sun spew. :)

I want to know who Iceland Air paid for this viral marketing plan. Only way it could be better is adding volcanos & lava.

That's what almost having our power infrastructure destroyed looks like. There's supposed to be another instance of this next year. Sun is ejaculating, we can only hope we're not in the splash zone next year.

It’s wild to think it’s just subatomic particles interacting. And our brains see it with their own subatomic interactions and we feel beauty.

This event wasn't even as big as the Carrington event, which was smaller still than what this www.nature.com/articles/s41... probably was. I wanna know what the sky looked like 9125 years ago... Can we make this a what if?

Ironically enough, up here in Alaska we couldn't see it because it was too bright out. 😅 Ah well, we get it the rest of the time, we can share for awhile. You always think the photos are fake and then when you see the real thing it's absolutely mind-blowing. It really does just Look Like That.

Not the sky persay, but the insurmountable particles of light we can't see unless the earth's magnetic field is just overwhelmed by said particles. Nevertheless, it's an amazing phenomenon!
