Interesting Events.
Some events are mundane yet some can be awe inspiring such as the Northern Lights. However there is a cycle every eleven years that is dramatically more powerful and even potentially disruptive to our everyday lives.
Like me, you have probably not heard about the Carrington Event that took place on the first of September eighteen fifty nine and lasted a year. It was observed that red sunspots were greatly increasing indicating a massive solar storm. The Sun shot an amount of hot plasma towards the Earth. That resulted in a surge of energy that caused telegraph wires to send messages without any power. Fortunately the Carrington Event was the most powerful one to date. I would just add a caution, despite how much mystery and wonder there might be, it is best to adhere to the advice most of us were given when we were young and do not ever look without visual protection at the Sun.
On a beach one day you might stop with surprise at coming across sea balls and wonder what they are. They can vary in size from small to giant. They are actually natural fibres of sea grass and are formed by the motion of the sea.
One of the most awe inspiring events in my opinion, took place two point thirty three billion years ago when there became a significant increase in oxygen of the Earth's atmosphere. This heralded the major change in the direction of new life that flourished breathing oxygen.
In the Carboniferous period about 359 to 299 million years ago, the world was a haven for giant insects and bugs. Fossils of dragonflies with a wing span greater than a pigeon are abundant and millipedes longer than a man's leg were common. The thought of Cockroaches big enough to see off a medium modern domestic pet are quite alarming.
All forms of life have a biological history. Learning that people have traits of behaviour that are shared with other creatures can be intriguing. For me, it burst the bubble of thinking that somehow there is a barrier of superiority.
Our history of development really should not be ignored, and I think lessons should be used for multiple improvements. I find discovering new and significant events really interesting as there is so much information that I might not have even been aware of and it potentially widens views and understanding of reality, so if necessary thoughts and thinking can be adjusted.
