I was blessed with a clear patch to perceive the #aurora
What started out as subtle streaks of color had moments of dramatic strobing, sheeting and flickering
Like watching a flame the size of the entire sky. The scale of it all was beyond anything I’ve ever perceived. A slice of the vast machinery of the solar system suddenly revealed for a moment.
All the wonder and joy I ever felt around the very IDEA of space as a child, instantly, irrevocably validated. What a gift.
