Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Add Diamond Dust, and take me please. I got boned in the eclipse. Need to see that.

New goal: see a total solar eclipse during lahaina noon during a period of peak sunspot activity to get some equatorial aurora and just after a water-rich meteorites disintegrated in the upper atmosphere, creating a blanked of ice crystals.

Is that so much to ask? No clouds, ideally.

I'm sure that occurs like, at least once every other year right? Should be easy.

I mean, count me in, but I don't think I'll be alive long enough =/

Woo! Group trip!

Also, for anyone else like me who's dumb and didn't know what Diamond Dust is. I guess it's like ice crystals glittering in the air at ground level. There's a cool video in the Wikipedia article. Image searches just kept bringing up literal diamond dust lol.
