Plasma in Earths magnetic field, UV image
Earths magnetic field. Ultraviolet image of hot plasma (ionised gas, orange) trapped in the Earths magnetic field. The Earth has been superimposed at centre. The Sun is out of frame at top right corner. Plasma density is colour-coded, from white (highest) to dark red (lowest). The night side of the Earth (lower left) has a lower plasma density than the sunward side. This image was taken by the High Energy Neutral Atom imager (HENA) on board the Imager for Magnetopause to Aurora Global Exploration (IMAGE) spacecraft on 11th August 2000

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing phenomenon of plasma in Earth's magnetic field. The ultraviolet image reveals the presence of hot, ionized gas (plasma) trapped within our planet's magnetic field, with its density color-coded from white to dark red. At the center of the image, we see a superimposed Earth, while the Sun remains out of frame at the top right corner. Taken on August 11th, 2000 by the High Energy Neutral Atom imager (HENA) aboard the Imager for Magnetopause to Aurora Global Exploration (IMAGE) spacecraft, this composite image offers a unique perspective on our planet's magnetism and its interaction with space. It provides valuable insights into Earth science and planetary research. Notably, this UV image highlights how plasma density varies across different regions. The night side of Earth (lower left) exhibits lower plasma density compared to the sunward side. This disparity creates an intriguing contrast that adds depth to our understanding of auroras and their connection to magnetic fields. With its scientific significance and stunning visual appeal, this photograph from Science Photo Library captures both astronomical enthusiasts' attention and researchers in various fields such as geology, astronomy, and earth sciences alike.
