I am continuously amazed that we live in a world where videos like this are possible:
Think of all the science fiction that is reality to bring this to your eyes:
- We’ve put an outpost in space.
- That outpost has people on board.
- They have cameras sensitive enough to take movies of auroras.
- These same cameras are small and portable enough to be on board.
- The images are captured in real-time to digital media.
- The movies can be sent to Earth over radio signals.
- They are then disseminated world wide at no cost to the viewer.
- Our PC (or phone!) can suck that data off a server hundreds (thousands!) of miles away in seconds.
- We can watch the movie anywhere.
- We can all be amazed together.
