AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the excitement of witnessing the aurora borealis, with one participant expressing their joy at seeing it for the first time. They plan to play guitar outside to celebrate the experience, comparing it to their tradition of playing during the full moon. Another participant shares their frustration about the constant cloud cover in their area, which prevents them from enjoying such sights, and mentions the upcoming construction of the world's largest radio telescope in the Netherlands. The conversation takes a humorous turn as participants joke about quoting oneself and share a light-hearted moment about keeping the conversation lively. Additionally, one participant recounts an encounter with a panicked individual who mistakenly believed the aurora was a sign of an impending apocalypse, highlighting a lack of awareness about solar phenomena. The thread captures a blend of awe for natural wonders and the quirky interactions that arise in everyday life.

I can so totally see the aurora borealis from my window. I've never seen it before. It's so cool. I think I'm going to get my guitar and go outside and play... its cold, but i always play for the full moon, figure the lights are just as special.

Sooooo Cool...

I've seen it before from up north. Tis a beautiful thing.
 
All I got here is a giant red glow in the sky.
 
it is always cloudy down here, if it not cloudy it is misty, if it is not misty, my window is all condensed with water
 
ok well... the red glow is the lights...

Somehow my crazy (like honestly nutso) parents can see all sorts of colors and shapes. I can't... but still. I've never seen the AB before, so least now i can say i have.

The very reason why there aren't any optic telescopes in the low lands.. but I heard last week that they are going to build the world's largest radio telescope right here in the Netherlands!

Well, I just stepped out on break (hehehehe) a few minutes ago and noticed them for the first time.

Only, I didn't notice them. I noticed the guy running around in a panic acting like the sky was falling. I'm like, dude, what's wrong with you? He was telling me about god returning and we all had to repent, blah blah.

I tried calming him down to explain it was a result of yesterdays solar flare, but without much luck. I thought everyone knew about these things, but apparently not.

How ironic I come here and you've got a post about it.

Anyhow, I'm going to take another break before to long and go get my camera, hopefully try to catch a few good pics of it.

Oh wait my parents... hmm... well seeing a stranger do it would have been more interesting.
