Journey to Light

Recently, in my deconstructive analysis of the Biblical book of Genesis, I examined two parts: Genesis 1: 1-8 Genesis 1: 14-18 I encourage readers to investigate these parts as it will help in understanding this article. If we reconstruct the early sections of Genesis to reflect a logical sequence, it reads like this, in two distinct parts – one about a time and place before heaven, and one about heaven itself: In the beginning there was darkness over the deep, and God's spirit hovered over the waters. God said, "Let there be light" and there was light. God saw that light was good, and God divided light from darkness.

The “mission” of capturing an Aurora display on camera is quite demanding: 1) you need to track solar storm activity and see if those storms are accompanied by Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) that are earth directed; 2) you need to get the earth arrival time of CMEs right (which is very difficult); 3) you need to get to a dark-sky site (where there is minimal light pollution); 4) you need to have clear skies (free of cloud cover); 5) you need to know what you’re doing with your camera settings (once you locate the “invisible” light display in the skies). Then there is the matter of going out into the dark night until the early hours of the morning on a “work night” (it’s no fun rushing into the office after only 3 hours of sleep). On top of all that, there is never a guarantee that the Aurora will put in a good show – change in direction or strength of solar wind...
