I am certain this was fantastic for the lucky few: it is unfortunate, though, how the media and people in general seem more interested in having someone else see auroras from a plane or from space on our behalf, and snap a photo of it for us to view on our computers than to actually go outside and see the night sky for ourselves. I can tell you, the experience is FAR better. But we need to take care of our environment to continue enjoying them: clean air, reduced light pollution will mean you can see them when you are older, too. Right now, there's no guarantee.
