Saturday night musings on an old viral #AlyssaTalksBackwards , are there any people who know better than me about how our brain and speech works who can elaborate on how common this ability is?

Asking for a me who knows exactly how Alyssa does this because I can do it too (visualising the word and either reversing the letter order or just reading it backwards). Have always been idly curious about it since it went viral.

That time at Ardmore when the wind shifted and I found myself not far from the approach end of the runway the Roaring Forties were landing on.
Fun (if not particularly wise) shooting position!

Bright yellow Harvard training aircraft with a black 078 number on the side about to pass left of the camera very close and very low as it nears landing.
WW2 Harvard training aircraft about to pass over the camera position and land. The aircraft is in bright sunlight against a dark grey sky. The radial engine and propellor are prominent, as are the red and white checks around the engine cowling.

Last night at around 9:30pm, aurora chasers across the Otago Peninsula (who weren't blinded by the constant flow of traffic with full beam headlights) got to see a beautiful pinky white beam running across the sky from east to west. This is STEVE (Strong Thermal Emission Velocity Enhancement) which isn't actually an aurora at all. It is an atmospheric ribbon of hot gas some 450km above the surface of the earth.

Welcome to the Peninsula STEVE! :-) #aurora
