Have you seen any images of the gorgeous northern lights that have been sited from Norway to Alaska the past few days? Did you know that they are created by solar winds which are made up of highly charged electrons and protons (slightly simplified explanation, but bear with me). The joke goes: “You mean protons have mass? I didn’t even know they were Catholic!” 
“The aurora borealis, or Northern Lights, are seen near the city of Tromsoe, northern Norway, late Tuesday, Jan. 24, 2012. Stargazers were out in force in northern Europe on Tuesday, hoping to be awed by a spectacular showing of northern lights after the most powerful solar storm in six years.” (AP Photo/Scanpix Norway, Rune Stoltz Bertinussen)

“ANCHORAGE, Alaska — The aurora borealis streaking across Alaska skies this week captivated sky watchers who camped out in sub-zero temperatures to photograph the lights, billed as the most active in years.”
“How can a man be in the right before God? If one wished to contend with him, one could not answer him once in a thousand times. He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength. Who has hardened himself against him, and succeeded?…[He] alone stretched out the heavens…who made the Bear and Orion, the Pleiades, and the chambers of the south; who does great things beyond searching out, and marvelous things beyond number.” (Job 9:1-10)
Oooooohh… I wish we could see them from here!
Gorgeous! I’ve always wanted to see the Northern Lights.
