I did not know that. I knew of it related to flying, and got to see it once in the cockpit. Way cool. This is truly a magical universe. It's nice to be reminded.

One time we were walking on a sandbar by Eastern Lake and our foot prints lit up! We have always noticed if you rub the "wet sand" the "stars" appear but that was exceptional. A few weeks ago when we were there all around Eastern Lake, there were 1" little clear colorless jelly animals that glowed.

Those were most likely ctenophores (comb jellies). You can actually stick your finger inside of them and at night time it looks cool with glowing fingers (at least to some people).
