Aurora borealis, 1854 artwork
Aurora borealis. Artwork of a northern lights (aurora borealis) display, observed in Norway in 1854. Aurorae, displays of coloured lights in the sky, form as charged particles in the solar wind are drawn by Earths magnetic field to the poles. There, they collide with gas atoms and molecules, causing them to emit light. A group of standing stones is at lower right. Standing stones are large stones erected in the ground by prehistoric cultures, usually to mark the sites of ancient religious ceremonies or burial chambers

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork, titled "Aurora borealis, 1854" takes us back to the enchanting display of the northern lights observed in Norway over a century ago. The artist skillfully captures the ethereal beauty of this natural phenomenon that has fascinated humanity for ages. The vibrant colors dancing across the sky are a result of charged particles from the solar wind being drawn by Earth's magnetic field towards the poles. As these particles collide with gas atoms and molecules, they emit a mesmerizing glow that illuminates both land and sea. In this scene, we see a group of standing stones at the lower right corner, marking ancient religious ceremonies or burial chambers from prehistoric cultures. These megaliths stand as witnesses to our ancestors' connection with nature and their awe-inspiring surroundings. The composition showcases not only the celestial spectacle but also highlights Norway's stunning geography—a picturesque coastline framed by majestic mountains and an endless expanse of ocean stretching towards the horizon. As we gaze upon this illustration created in the 19th century, it serves as a reminder of how humans have long been captivated by both scientific phenomena and spiritual beliefs intertwined with our understanding of Earth's history. This artwork is not just an exquisite portrayal; it encapsulates centuries worth of fascination with aurorae—an atmospheric phenomenon that continues to inspire scientists and artists alike today.
