I’m seeing this graphic making the rounds without attribution - many versions have the info at the bottom cut off. The creator is alienyrox2 on reddit (https://www.reddit.com/user/alienyrox2/).

A nice benefit of knowing the creator is that I was able to find a bunch of other cool stuff that they’ve made, also posted to Reddit (I know, I know…)

@MichaelPorter I hate the trend for adding "credit to original creator" or "dm for credit or removal". 🙄

@morag It wasn’t that hard to track it down. Reverse image search on Google or TinEye!

@MichaelPorter this was a shitty habit on twitter and i hate that this habit comes up on fedi now.
Show threadMichael PorterMay 11, 2024

@schaf I understand it, a bit - I think most of the time it’s a little bit of laziness, or the urge to post quickly.

Not cool if someone is trying to pass work off as their own, though!

@MichaelPorter by shitty habit i meant actively cutting away the watermarks or sources

@MichaelPorter Top graphic and good to know it's from a credible source.

Explains why in Australia we usually just see pinks and greens ( if anything). Because of the earth's curvature, we only see the " top" of the aurora.
