Aurora borealis over observation domes in Canada
Aurora. Green aurora borealis (northern lights) display over illuminated domes. Aurorae are caused by charged particles from the Sun stimulating gas molecules in the Earths atmosphere to emit light. They are more common around the poles as the Earths magnetic field directs the charged particles there. They occur at an altitude of around 100 kilometres. These domes belong to the Aurora Domes Observatory in Churchill, Manitoba, Canada. They are used by tourists for the observation of the aurora. Photographed in March 1999

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the ethereal beauty of the Aurora borealis dancing gracefully over the observation domes in Churchill, Manitoba, Canada. The mesmerizing green hues of the northern lights illuminate the night sky and create a breathtaking display above these illuminated structures. Aurorae are a remarkable natural phenomenon caused by charged particles from the Sun interacting with gas molecules in Earth's atmosphere, resulting in an emission of light. These stunning displays are more commonly observed around the poles due to Earth's magnetic field directing the charged particles towards those regions. The auroras occur at an altitude of approximately 100 kilometers. The domes featured in this photograph belong to the Aurora Domes Observatory, serving as a haven for tourists seeking to witness and study these awe-inspiring celestial events. Nestled amidst Canada's picturesque landscape, this observatory provides visitors with an unparalleled opportunity to observe and appreciate nature's magnificent light show. Taken in March 1999, this image encapsulates not only the beauty but also highlights our understanding of earth science and atmospheric phenomena. It showcases how electromagnetic effects can produce such extraordinary visual spectacles that leave us humbled by nature's wonders. This Science Photo Library print serves as a reminder of our planet's incredible natural phenomena while inviting viewers to delve into scientific exploration and appreciate its profound impact on our world.
