    does it make a difference that the solar system is going through the photon belt - I heard it was somewhere...

    Hi Anton, great video. I managed to see an aurora for my first time on May 10 - great because I've been looking upward for it for any decades here in the UK. I know we're near a solar maximum and to expect strong auroras, but this year seems to have had more nearer the equator than usual, even allowing for solar maximum. Is that correct? More than I can ever remember anyway. If the above is true, could this have anything to to do with the earth's magnetic pole 'moving around', as it has been in recent decades? I'd kind of expect that to affect the locations from which aurorae are visible. Just thought.

    This event was publicized unlike many others over time. We have survived a lot. Sometimes one needs to look around at ground level and realize, the sun won’t kill us, we’re already well into our own destruction. It’s all good. Thanks for the info.

    ScienceClic English I think made a more realistic one using simple hardware ray-trace rendering. He also did a ridiculous amount of calculations to remake the black hole from Interstellar and compare the movie to the simulation. He also remade and recreated what passing through a wormhole would look like. I mean… dude did his homework.

    There were some strong solar storms around 1997-98 also. I remember the northern lights were awesome then also. If you look at the years we have heavy snow years, it lines up with these cycles. So-called climate change has more to do with sun cycles than they want us to believe.

    I think it's very interesting how earth's magnetosphere shield will literally show you colours that indicates how heavy the bombardment is, and even more so, that it aligns with the typical health bar in games where green means good and red means bad.
