Aurora Borealis or Northern Lights observed from northern Norway, 10 October 1868, (1906)
Aurora Borealis or Northern Lights observed from northern Norway, 10 October 1868, (1906). Aurorae are caused by the interaction of the particles in the solar wind with the Earths magnetic field. The phenomenon is most visible in polar regions but in times of intense solar activity can be seen at lower latitudes as well. From Elementary Treatise on Physics by A Ganot. (London, 1906)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph print captures the mesmerizing beauty of the Aurora Borealis, also known as the Northern Lights, observed from northern Norway on 10 October 1868. The image is a remarkable representation of this natural phenomenon that occurs when particles in the solar wind interact with Earth's magnetic field. The vibrant colors dancing across the night sky create a breathtaking spectacle that leaves viewers in awe. Shades of green, purple, and pink illuminate the darkness, painting an ethereal canvas above Norway's arctic landscape. This celestial display showcases nature's artistic prowess and reminds us of our place within the vastness of the universe. Aurorae are typically seen in polar regions due to their proximity to Earth's magnetosphere. However, during periods of heightened solar activity, these enchanting lights can be witnessed at lower latitudes as well. It is through scientific exploration and understanding that we have come to appreciate and study this extraordinary event. This historical print from A Ganot's Elementary Treatise on Physics serves as a testament to humanity's fascination with our solar system and its wonders. As we gaze upon this image today, it serves as a reminder of how far we have come in unraveling the mysteries of our world while still marveling at its natural phenomena like the Aurora Borealis.
