I wonder if their Sunday is going to be completely thrown off. I'm sure someone here knows something about this!

I generally don’t spoon my fishMine have always slept right through these astral incidents.

Yea, I prefer to fork mine

Seriously, corals are known to time spawning events in coordinated action that coincides with tides, moon phases, and other astrological phenomena. The aurora Borealis could have some interesting effects but it is generally observed in the skies away from the tropical reefs.
It is an electromagnetic (or ionic?) solar radiation incident that might be, in theory at least detectable by a lateral line but when I asked my fish about it they refused to discuss the phenomenon.
I have not heard anything in the news that would indicate that it was impacting the fish, ( shark bites, beaching whales or dolphins, etc) and the people I know who live where it was reported visible decided to go to bed an hour before the lights went off in the heavens.
So we don’t have a clue, once again. They didn’t even make anything up like I did. They lack interest when they can’t give credit or blame to support their cause.

Omg. Wasn't expecting that!! I thought I was about to learn something. Hahaha
OMG! I didn't expect that either! Thanks for posting that. I needed to laugh!

I read somewhere on the credible internet that a strong aurora borealis gives about as much photosynthetic energy as a full moon, so who knows!!Seriously, corals are known to time spawning events in coordinated action that coincides with tides, moon phases, and other astrological phenomena.

This is interesting. If it is true then I would think it could provide some growth energy for plants and plankton and maybe trigger flowers to bloom?
Uh the moon provides like 1/400,000 the luminance of the sun…. That’s like replacing your radion with a digital watch

No, because the amount of photosynthetic energy provided by the moon is insignificant to start with.
Oh, I misread the source information in the post. The moon only impacts werewolves, everyone knows that. It doesn’t make plants grow, my bad in reading that post.
Now a musing of the effects of the aurora on werewolves…Oh, I misread the source information in the post. The moon only impacts werewolves, everyone knows that. It doesn’t make plants grow, my bad in reading that post.
We know a lot about the moons impact

That's the numbers I saw earlier
However, if the moon affects things like spawning events, presumably through some sort of detection of photosynthetic light, could the northern lights cause some events as well?
