Aldo Leopold said that to have an ecological education basically allows those with one to see "a world of wounds" invisible to most "laymen". While this is true, it is critically important at times to look past those wounds and see the intricate beauty that also still surrounds us.
The sun is in its normal cycle of higher activity at this time, so hopefully so more good views to come. AND - three cheers for the magnetosphere! - we would not survive that blast of radiation without it.
I'll give more than three cheers for the magnetosphere! But yes, I agree with your sentiment. And maybe the knowledge of the wounding of our world helps us to be patient and truly appreciate the beauty?
