Aurora from space
Aurora borealis. Coloured combined ultraviolet and optical image of an aurora borealis (northern lights) display seen from space. The aurorae are seen as a ring of light around the North Pole. The most active areas appear red, with less intense activity ranging through yellow to blue. Aurorae are caused by particles from the Sun (the solar wind) interacting with Earths atmosphere. Earths magnetic field channels the charged particles to the poles, where they collide with gas molecules in the upper atmosphere, causing them to glow. Image taken by the Visible Imaging System on the Polar satellite in February 2000

EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking print captures the ethereal beauty of the Aurora borealis, also known as the northern lights, as seen from space. The image showcases a mesmerizing ring of vibrant light encircling the North Pole, revealing nature's spectacular display in all its glory. The vivid colors depicted in this photograph are a result of combining ultraviolet and optical images. The most active areas of the aurora appear strikingly red, gradually transitioning through shades of yellow to blue. This stunning phenomenon is caused by particles from the Sun, known as solar wind, interacting with Earth's atmosphere. Earth's magnetic field plays a crucial role in channeling these charged particles towards the poles where they collide with gas molecules in our upper atmosphere. As a result of these collisions, an enchanting glow illuminates the night sky. Captured by the Visible Imaging System on board Polar satellite back in February 2000, this image serves as a testament to both scientific exploration and artistic appreciation. It offers us a unique perspective on our planet's atmospheric wonders and reminds us of how interconnected we are with celestial forces. As you gaze upon this awe-inspiring print from Science Photo Library, let your imagination soar alongside those shimmering lights dancing across Earth's polar regions – an extraordinary reminder that even amidst vastness and darkness lies boundless beauty waiting to be discovered.
