A spectacular aurora borealis display
A spectacular aurora borealis display (northern lights) with vivid, red light. Aurorae are caused by the interaction between energetic charged particles coming from the Sun and molecules of gases in the upper atmosphere (about 100km). A stream of charged particles, known as the solar wind, flows continuously from the Suns corona towards interplanetary space at speeds of 400-500 km/s. These particles do not reach the Earths atmosphere due to the shielding effect of the Earths magnetic field. However, violent solar activities such as solar flares emit highly energetic particles which penetrate this shield and ionise molecules in the atmosphere

23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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 a truly mesmerizing spectacle of nature - a spectacular aurora borealis display, also known as the northern lights. The vivid, red light illuminates the night sky, creating an ethereal and enchanting scene. Aurorae are a result of the fascinating interaction between energetic charged particles from the Sun and molecules of gases in our upper atmosphere. These charged particles, carried by the solar wind flowing from the Sun's corona towards interplanetary space at incredible speeds, usually don't reach Earth's atmosphere due to our planet's protective magnetic field. However, during intense solar activities like solar flares, highly energetic particles manage to penetrate this shield and ionize molecules in our atmosphere. This process leads to the creation of these awe-inspiring displays that dance across polar regions. The photograph showcases not only the beauty but also highlights important scientific concepts such as electromagnetic effects and atmospheric phenomena. It serves as a reminder of how interconnected our world is with celestial events occurring millions of miles away. This stunning image is brought to you by Science Photo Library - an invaluable resource for those passionate about earth science and various scientific disciplines. Let it transport you into the realm where art meets science and marvel at one of nature's most breathtaking wonders –the aurora borealis or northern lights display.
