I am sitting watching television on my home theatre (literally - 6 foot screen), when out my windows I glimpse a faint pattern of green glow. I turn off the television, and peer out into the desolate cold. What awaits me is truly an undeniable wonder. The lights in green gaseous state whip here and there and begin to form bands. Moving slowly and with a direction, they proceed from the south and glide upward into the north. I race around my house, finding every switch in its powerless position. Inside has now just become that of without... black, dark, nothingness. But, the stars are out and twinkle so, you can even see them behind the glow.
My fortune would have it, that I would not only participate in one show, but two. Tis the end of the Orionid, leaving Halley's dust in our wake. A huge fire of orange balled in my northern sight and ended faintly on the horizon. I make my way around my windows, trying to determine which best to peer out of. Any will do, as the intense spot that left the sun, would encompass the entire view.
Peaking in such form, the piercing white begins to break through. I hold my breath, as shimmers of vapor pour downward. Could this lash out into a real show, the best show on Earth? Another white star burst within cloud like form is highlighted by yet another shooting star. I recognize the patterns of chaos in fractal order, and race to bundle up to brace the weather.
Without I can see and even feel the beauty. I stand looking up and another meteor collides with the atmosphere, making its way to join our magnet in forceful glory. Concurrent, the bands are swimming in strength, as the solar winds push them onward with great unseen force. They begin there journey in the eerie green, with bursts of bright unreal white.
I gaze far and wide, as the entire scope is full of nature and science in its height. One last meteorite falls beneath the veil, 4 in total. Above the final energies of fusion making the sky a whisper of radiant mist. Creating a downward motion of green, with white arrays, and last - but most adored, the crimson of pinks. Fairy dust... star dust... gaseous interactions in a massive cloak all raining down on me from every direction.
This show was free, and it was truly created for me.
