Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) seen in Finland
Aurora Borealis. Spectacular blue-green display of the Aurora Borealis (or Northern Lights) as seen in Finland. Aurorae occur when charged cosmic particles become trapped in the Earths magnetic field. As the particles spiral toward the poles around the magnetic field lines, they collide with gas molecules in the upper atmosphere. This causes the molecules to ionise, leading to flickering patterns of coloured light as seen here. Eskimos once believed these lights were the playful souls of children on their way to heaven. Aurorae may be seen around both poles; the southern hemisphere display is known as the Aurora Australis (Southern Lights)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of the Aurora Borealis, also known as the Northern Lights, witnessed in Finland. The ethereal blue-green hues illuminate the night sky, creating a breathtaking spectacle that leaves viewers in awe. These enchanting lights are a result of charged cosmic particles becoming trapped within Earth's magnetic field. As these particles spiral along the magnetic field lines towards the poles, they collide with gas molecules in the upper atmosphere. This collision causes ionization and leads to flickering patterns of vibrant colored light that dance across the heavens. In ancient times, Eskimos believed that these celestial displays were actually playful souls of children making their way to heaven. Today, we understand them as a remarkable electromagnetic effect caused by interactions between solar winds and our planet's magnetic field. Aurorae can be observed around both poles; however, this particular image captures nature's masterpiece in Finland. It serves as a reminder of how astonishing our world can be when science and art intertwine harmoniously. This stunning photograph from Science Photo Library invites us to appreciate not only Earth's natural wonders but also humanity's ability to capture such extraordinary moments through scientific exploration and photography.
