Aurora Borealis: A Reminder to Expand Our Perception
Seeing the Northern Lights sky show during the solar flares on May 10, 2024 was like science fiction fantasy.
In my experience with eclipses and solar flares, it seems light transforms every aspect of a living environment so when these major sky events have occurred, the wildlife is silent. And the air is still. On this night there wasn’t a nightlife sound or even a tickle of breeze.
Through a cloud of Cherry Moon smoke, the night sky sizzled with light vibrating in from the north, leaking down in mystic streaks exposing a backlit universe. It was different and elevating, inspiring reverence.
It was not until scrolling through my phone’s fantastic aurora borealis planetarium still images that I realized how little we were seeing. Seeking to learn more about this phenomenon, it appears humans rarely see these dramatic light shows in full spectrum color with the naked eye.
Perhaps the most impactful message received was the reminder that our physical perception is bound to our sensory limitations. There is so much more that exists beyond our sensory perception.
