As you watch the Aurora this evening, it’s worth reflecting that you’re getting a rare direct glimpse of the power of Nature. Those charged particles causing the atmosphere to glow came from a sunspot complex 17 times the diameter of Earth and traveled across 90 million miles at a million miles an hour. Without our magnetic field to protect us, our atmosphere would have been lost to space long ago. Those colours in the sky are Nature reminding us that we’re very lucky to be here amidst the violence. And perhaps therefore also reminding us not to shite it all up :-)
My son left his beloved TeddyB on @Delta Flight DL4 (LHR-JFK) - TeddyB is wearing his favourite @ManUtd hoody. No doubt TeddyB is having an amazing adventure but if you see him, let him know we are missing him terribly & we just want him home with us ❤️
