“I think perfection is ugly.
Somewhere in the things humans make,
I want to see scars, failure, disorder, distortion.”

― Yohji Yamamoto



Glimmering green and blue auroras cover large swaths of sky above Canada on August 5. “At the biggest, about 60 percent of the sky was dancing,” wrote photographer Olivier du Tré on the SpaceWeather website. Auroras occur when energized particles from the sun reach Earth and get funneled down the planet’s magnetic field lines toward the Poles. Along the way, the charged particles smash into oxygen and nitrogen atoms in our atmosphere and boost their energy, which ends up being emitted as colorful light. (via National Geographic)
