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

31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 31x27 inches (787x685mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

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.
