EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Lunar Corona (Arctic) - A Historical Sighting of a Lunar Halo by Arctic Explorers Description: This photograph print, sourced from Mary Evans Picture Library, showcases a rare and natural phenomenon known as the Lunar Corona or Paraselena, observed in the Arctic region during the late 19th century. The image, circa 1860, depicts a cross-like effect centered on the Moon, with a surrounding ring, creating an ethereal and otherworldly display in the night sky. Background: The Lunar Corona, also referred to as a paraselena or lunar halo, is an optical phenomenon caused by the refraction of sunlight through ice crystals in the Earth's atmosphere. This effect is most commonly observed in polar regions, where the cold temperatures and high humidity create the ideal conditions for its formation. Historical Significance: The discovery of the Lunar Corona dates back to ancient times, with numerous accounts of this phenomenon recorded in various historical texts. However, the first documented photograph of the Lunar Corona was taken in the Arctic by a group of intrepid explorers during the late 1800s. This photograph, now part of the Mary Evans Picture Library collection, offers a unique glimpse into the past, showcasing the awe-inspiring beauty of this natural wonder and the curiosity of early explorers who sought to document and understand the mysteries of the universe. Conclusion: This photograph print of the Lunar Corona (Arctic) serves as a testament to the enduring fascination with the natural world and the human desire to explore and document the unknown. The ethereal cross-like effect and surrounding ring, as captured by the Arctic explorers of the late 1800s, continue to captivate and inspire us today, reminding us of the wonders that lie hidden in the night sky.
