I’ve caught glimpses of a decent aurora once, nowhere near this spectacular, but the thing that struck me most was that the light flowed in a way that was very conspicuously NOT like a liquid but like electricity. It felt like being inside one of those plasma globe lamps. Eerie and breathtaking.
The aurora last night in Beaver, Alaska was just incredible. This is a real-time video (not sped up) of the crazy motion I saw. Also, look how BRIGHT it is, wow!

"The people who eventually broke free from complicity in Nazi Germany almost always did so through a relationship. Someone they trusted asked them an honest question. Someone they loved showed them what they had stopped seeing. A human connection broke through the ideological fog."

In "Thud!", Terry Pratchett referred to that as the moment when "Someone should do something about this" turns into "I should do something about this"
Need less ‘the call to heroism has inspired me to be who i was always meant to be!” narratives and more “this fucking sucks and I don’t want to be here but someone has to do it and goddamnit it looks like that’s me” narratives imo.

Our loyalties are to the species and the planet. We speak for Earth. Our obligation to survive is owed not just to ourselves but also to that Cosmos, ancient and vast, from which we spring.

They don't mean to do harm,

There is no deeper religious feeling than the feeling for the natural world. I wouldn't separate the world of nature from the religious instinct...I would not even object to saying that the sense of awe before the grandeur of nature is itself a religious experience.

One of my very early morning ventures to photograph a sunrise gave me an opportunity to enjoying this early bird at golden hour - Ruby-crowned kinglet - looking for tidbits in the rocks of the wharf. #bird #nature #wildlife #photography

When people celebrate the individual genius of folks in science, they should also
mourn the collective loss of genius of folks who were actively discouraged or disadvantaged from a career in science because of the same person(s)

The beautiful Comet LEMMON's tail
The comet is going out with a bang. The tail was as bright as ever last night. Captured with Celestron RASA telescope, ZWO ASI533MC color camera, and an Antlia L-Filter.
