Last night, Craig got his first proper look at the Northern Lights. I’m always amazed that our atmosphere keeps working, that it doesn’t just get blown away when bombarded with solar particles, or (for that matter) that all the cells and bacteria in my body remain in the specific delicate balance that allows me to be alive.
Of course, at some point on a personal this will stop working and I’ll die, and on a galactic level everything will all be incinerated or sucked into nothingness. But for now, it’s pretty neat.
