:Great you removed [https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php?title=Talk%3A2233%3A_Aurora_Meaning&type=revision&diff=183613&oldid=183612 this text]. I guess if this account keeps doing such things it should be banned. Sadly we seem to have lost all contact to any admin of the page...? So I'm not sure how we could do anything. --[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 08:01, 26 November 2019 (UTC) | :Great you removed [https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php?title=Talk%3A2233%3A_Aurora_Meaning&type=revision&diff=183613&oldid=183612 this text].

Nobody talks about the visible shadow of the two lower texts? You can clearly see a layer of grey letters, not identical to the topmost layer, benath.

::On the words Satelite and Exciting in the southern hemisphere it is most visible (but also on others) that there are greyish letters right next to the black ones, kinda like shadows. Maybe Randall copy pasted and changed it. Similar things of remains of erased parts have been visible before. (If someone thinks it is important, I can try to look it up, but I am not exactly sure where it was) --[[User:Lupo|Lupo]] ([[User talk:Lupo|talk]]) 08:38, 26 November 2019 (UTC) | ::On the words Satelite and Exciting in the southern hemisphere it is most visible (but also on others) that there are greyish letters right next to the black ones, kinda like shadows.

::: You're right. It's most visible on the right side of the loop in the 'S' at the end of 'Satellites' in the southern hemisphere, but you can also see it on the lower tip of 'C' and the upper tip of 'G' in 'Exciting'. However, I downloaded the image and used an image editor to up the contrast, and it turns out the grey letters are the exact same as the black ones, just in slightly different places and shapes. Presumably Randal didn't like his first attempt at lettering the comic and erased it and rewrote it.

− | + | That is known as "mustard". This term originated in the OTT, of course[[Special:Contributions/172.69.63.191|172.69.63.191]] 16:34, 27 November 2019 (UTC) | |
− | + | :What does this comment even mean? I have no idea what "OTT" means and what the term "mustard" refers to in either the comic or any previous comments! Can the OP or anyone else shed some light on it? [[User:Ianrbibtitlht|Ianrbibtitlht]] ([[User talk:Ianrbibtitlht|talk]]) 17:48, 27 November 2019 (UTC) | |
− | + | ::The OTT (short for the One True Thread) is the unofficial nickname for the xkcd fora thread for Time (also known over there as the One True Comic (OTT for short). Mustard arose when some mistakes in colouration were made during Time's run that appeared as outlines is a faintly mustard-like colour. Hope that's of any help.

Do we have any indication how much energy we're talking to see the aurora at the equator? or how that would physically work?

:Most of the subpolar latitudes of the southern hemisphere are ocean. Southern Australia is still subtropical. The southernmost parts of Chile and Argentina (Terra del Fuego) would qualify. | :Most of the subpolar latitudes of the southern hemisphere are ocean. Southern Australia is still subtropical.
