    It really isn’t hard to imagine how much Lovecraftian dread pre-scientific man would have experienced when looking up at something like this.

    And it’s an amazing testament to the human appreciation for beauty that we can still experience a similar sense of awe and wonder, even though we know the naturalistic explanation for the phenomenon.

          Nice, thank you. That led me indirectly to a website also but somewhat more limited in scope: https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/products/aurora-viewline-tonight-and-tomorrow-night-experimental

What is geoscience?

Geoscience (also called Earth Science) is the study of Earth. Geoscience includes so much more than rocks and volcanoes, it studies the processes that form and shape Earth’s surface, the natural resources we use, and how water and ecosystems are interconnected. Geoscience uses tools and techniques from other science fields as well, such as chemistry, physics, biology, and math! Read more…
