When I look at the Northern Lights with the naked eye, I see grey or white with some tints of green. Now when looking at photos of the northern lights I see brilliant greens and purples that seem to the the prevailing colors. I mentioned this to a co worker who said that the picture on the screen of a web site of northern lights was what he saw when he looked at the northern lights. My question is why don't I see those colors when I look at them, do I have some sort of color blindness? As far as I know I don't have any form of color blindness.What do you think. And by the way, what do you see when you look at them. And FYI, I live in northern Minnesota, so the lights here are bright and often!

Where do freckles come from?
From the sun? Or is it genetic?
Are people born with them? If so, did some relative way back get freckles? Then it went into the DNA?

interval between the perception of a signal to stop and the application of the brakes.) If an automobile can slow down with an acceleration of 12.0 ft/s^2, compute the total distance covered in coming to a stop after a signal is observed (a) from an initial velocity of 15.0mi/h (in a school zone) and (b) from an initial velocity of 55.0 mi/h.

I was confused about this one. is the problem saying that the the final velocity will be 0 or do I have to figure this out. anyone please help me figure out how to solve this, I would really appreciate it a lot !

We were talking about the Chicago marahon at school, and my science teacher says that the misting stations located throughout the marathon are there so that your body does not need to produce as much sweat and can take water directly through your pores. But my mom who is a doctor says that can't happen. Who is right?
