Solar flares and Earth, artwork
Solar flares and Earth. Artwork showing a solar flare from the Sun (left) sending a stream of charged particles and radiation towards the Earth (right) which is protected by its magnetosphere (magnetic field lines shown). This flow of charged particles is present as the solar wind even when no flare has occurred. Most of the charged particles are diverted around the Earth. Some are trapped and guided by the Earths magnetic field towards the polar regions, where they impact the atmosphere and cause the aurorae (northern and southern lights). The Earth-Sun distance is not to scale

Bring the wonders of space into your home or office with our stunning Solar Flares and Earth Poster Print from Media Storehouse. This captivating artwork, sourced from Science Photo Library, showcases the breathtaking spectacle of a solar flare erupting on the surface of the Sun, sending a stream of charged particles and radiation towards our planet. Engage and inspire with this visually striking representation of the dynamic relationship between our star and Earth. Order yours today and ignite your imagination!
A2 Poster (59.4 x 42cm, 23.4" x 16.5" inches) printed on 170gsm Satin Poster Paper. Securely packaged, rolled and inserted into a strong mailing tube and shipped tracked. Poster Prints are of comparable archival quality to our Photographic prints, they are simply printed on thinner Poster Paper. Whilst we only use Photographic Prints in our frames, you can frame Poster Prints if they are carefully supported to prevent sagging over time.
Poster prints are budget friendly enlarged prints in standard poster paper sizes (A0, A1, A2, A3 etc). Whilst poster paper is sometimes thinner and less durable than our other paper types, they are still ok for framing and should last many years. Our Archival Quality Photo Prints and Fine Art Paper Prints are printed on higher quality paper and the choice of which largely depends on your budget.
Estimated Image Size (if not cropped) is 59.4cm x 20cm (23.4" x 7.9")

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork titled "Solar Flares and Earth" beautifully captures the dynamic relationship between our planet and the Sun. The print showcases a solar flare erupting from the left side, unleashing a torrent of charged particles and radiation towards Earth on the right. However, thanks to its protective magnetosphere, represented by magnetic field lines in the illustration, most of these particles are diverted around our planet. The mesmerizing flow of charged particles depicted here is known as the solar wind, which persists even when no flares occur. While some particles manage to breach Earth's defenses, they are guided by its magnetic field towards the polar regions where they collide with our atmosphere and give birth to awe-inspiring aurorae – both northern lights (aurora borealis) and southern lights (aurora australis). It's important to note that this artwork does not accurately depict the scale of distance between Earth and the Sun. Nevertheless, it serves as a reminder of how crucial our magnetosphere is in protecting us from potentially harmful space weather. This stunning piece combines elements of astronomy, astrophysics, planetary science, and artistry to showcase one of nature's most dazzling phenomena. It invites viewers to appreciate both the beauty and complexity involved in understanding our place within the vastness of space.
