Quote of the Day
|
“Of course, I know these flares might be a harbinger of planetary doom, which is concerning. But in these turbulent times, as I check this item off my bucket list, the sense of wonder and joy this scientific phenomenon has provided for so many of us seems worth celebrating.”
—Elisa Speranza, commenting on her experience seeing aurora borealis on-Island.
