What is geoscience?

Geoscience (also called Earth Science) is the study of Earth. Geoscience includes so much more than rocks and volcanoes, it studies the processes that form and shape Earth's surface, the natural resources we use, and how water and ecosystems are interconnected. Geoscience uses tools and techniques from other science fields as well, such as chemistry, physics, biology, and math! Read more...

Alaska resident here...Auroras have been going nuts last few days. My wife and I texted all the neighbors on Monday night. The whole street came out to watch. Usually, we mostly see green and occasionally silver/white. Monday night was was a lot of red/white/green. Reds seem to be the most rare

I've seen some lights in my lifetime, in MT mostly. Can you see other colors (like the rare red, purple, etc) without a camera?
