What is an aurora? - Michael Molina

[@brycryfry]

I like how the intro was so intense and then suddenly became scientific and casual

Aurora lights is something that I want to see once in a lifetime. 😁

[@Megacooltommydee]

You don't even have to travel to see the Aurora Borealis. Just leave your burnt roast in the oven for long enough and watch your kitchen transform into the northern lights.

[@hasnain9654]

Tommy Dee he is serious

[@fashionworld9943]

I agree with her that aurora light is something that one must seen once,

[@Fuckyourselfgoogle]

I saw it.. and now I miss it every night :(

[@supercoolmunkee]

@@Fuckyourselfgoogle The total solar eclipse that came to the United States in 2017 a couple of years ago was the best thing in my life because it was just a "budget" trip away from where I live. Glad I got to see that and now it is over. Aurora is my next celestial event I have to see in my lifetime!

[@ChrisreadIRL]

I’m 28 and just witnessed this phenomenon in New England for the first time ever. “Night mode” on my phone picked up the light brilliantly but to the eye it was basically a pink sky. Pink sky but you can clearly see all the stars behind it. I’m very grateful to have seen this

[@arkhamsans3541]

Let's just take a brief break and appreciate the awesome animation.

it is amazing, the more i am learning about the world the more i am realizing that it is all connected, and i realize how magnificent the world truly is in its complex simplicity.

I’m actually here for both lol right now we’re in the aurora for the beginning of June 2024

[@daughterofgod4927]

Ah. Creation is not an accident. Intelligent life cannot be created by an unintelligent mass. Whoever created it must not just be as equally Intelligent, but even more so. God is real and He loves you! It's all found in the Bible. Crazy..

2:45 I'd hardly call the distance from the sun to here "across the galaxy." But then again, we also seem to be having trouble telling the difference between a high-five and a fist-bump.

[@willirepublic5139]

Aurora Borealis?! At this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the country, localized entirely in your kitchen? Yes.

How do you explain the aurora borealis inside Skinner's kitchen?

[@TheMuslimMan1337]

Richard Hannay It happens in a specific time of the year, a specific time of day, and localised entirely within a specific part of a country.

Aurora Borealis (in the N. hemisphere) and Australis (in the S. hemisphere) are arranged by one of the parts of the song called "All the Works of Nature Which Adorn The World - Aurorae" by Nightwish. It lasts 2 mins 07 secs. I love it.

@@ksuma715 scientists in America use metric so it's not as if it's never used but for everyone who isn't a scientist at their work, metric isn't how it's done. It would be a gargantuan of a task to convert all if America from one to the other.
