That is what would attract the big corporations to investing in such endeavors. And in this case, it could definitely be good for humanity as well as animals and plants.

Rare fireball dominates Japan sky - SUPER bright and nearly vertical - Spectacular !






November 22, 2017: A rare, dominating fireball exploded over the island of Japan turning night to day from the east to the west as it entered the atmosphere in a nosedive angle, coming in nearly straight perpendicular! Spectacular event.

SPOTLESS SUN SPARKS PINK AURORAS: On Nov. 22nd, the face of the sun was unblemished by sunspots, and NOAA classified solar activity as "very low."  Nevertheless, the skies above Tromso Norway exploded with a remarkable outburst of pink auroras. "Suddenly, the whole valley turned white (with a hint of pink)," says Frank Meissner, who witnessed and photographed the display. "It was over after about 20 seconds."





How bright was it? "The brightness of the auroras may be compared to the car lights in the background of my photo," points out Meissner.
In nearby Kvaløya, aurora tour guide Marianne Bergli witnessed a surge of pink that was, if anything, even more dramatic:





"Ironically, our guests stopped taking pictures," says Bergli. "They were awestruck and frozen to the spot by the incredible pink and green lights overhead."
This outburst was powered by a stream of solar wind flowing from a hole in the sun's atmosphere. Such holes are common during Solar Minimum, and they require no sunspots to form. That's why auroras continue throughout the 11-year solar cycle.

The pink color of the outburst tells us something interesting about the solar wind on Nov. 22nd: it seems to have been unusually penetrating. Most auroras are green–a verdant glow caused by energetic particles from space hitting oxygen atoms 100 km to 300 km above Earth's surface. Pink appears when the energetic particles descend lower than usual, striking nitrogen molecules at the 100 km level and below.
In recent winters, big displays of pink and white auroras have coincided with spotless suns often enough to make observers wonder if there is a connection.  If so, more outbursts are in the offing as the sun continues its plunge toward a deep Solar Minimum. Stay tuned for pink!

"Cosmic Clouds" appear HIGH above Earth at the edge of Space!



November 26, 2017: Visible on clear nights high above the earth, not blocking light from the stars. Almost look similar to Magellan Clouds. They've been visible many different nights during the month of November, some nights more profound than others, as earth plows through a debris field.
