Hi i love your posts but i just want to point out that in one of your posts Its 'cease' not 'seize.' in the quote "we cease to exist once we're forgotten."

Yes I'm aware of that, you're not the first to point it out. English is not my first language so I apologize for misspellings. As long as you got what I wanted to say, then I believe there's no need to fuss over it any further ಥ⌣ಥ

hey! i was just wondering if you took those pictures of the night sky? and if not, do you know who did?

The photos I post on here are not all mine. The one you're interested in isn't in my possession and I don't know the owner (i found it on another site ages ago) Im sorry!

An aurora happens when energetic electrically charged particles, like electrons, collide with atoms of gas as they accelerate along the Earth’s magnetic field lines in the upper atmosphere.

Those collisions cause the atoms to give off light. Auroras are a lot like neon signs, except that the conducting gas is in the Earth’s ionosphere instead of inside a glass tube.
