Aurora borealis
Aurora borealis seen over trees through a fish-eye lens, with an observer at far right. This light display (the northern lights) is seen in the night sky at high latitudes. It occurs when charged and energetic particles from the Sun (the solar wind) are drawn by Earths magnetic field to the polar regions. Hundreds of kilometres up, they collide with gas molecules and atoms, causing them to emit light. Photographed over Alaska, USA, in 2000. Science Photo Library features Science and Medical images including photos and illustrations. © CHRIS MADELEY/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library captures the mesmerizing beauty of the Aurora borealis, also known as the northern lights. Through a fish-eye lens, we are transported to a serene forest in Alaska, USA, where an observer stands at the far right of the frame. The silhouette of this lone figure adds a sense of scale and wonder to the scene. The ethereal light display illuminates the night sky at high latitudes, caused by charged particles from the Sun being drawn towards Earth's magnetic field. As these energetic particles collide with gas molecules and atoms hundreds of kilometers above us, they emit a breathtaking glow that dances across the horizon. The image showcases not only nature's incredible spectacle but also highlights our connection to it as humans. Standing amidst towering trees covered in snow and ice, we witness this celestial phenomenon with awe and reverence. The photograph was taken in 2000 over Fairbanks, Alaska - a location renowned for its stunning displays of aurorae. It serves as a reminder of Earth's intricate relationship with solar activity and how even in remote places like Manitoba or Arctic regions, one can witness such extraordinary natural phenomena. Science Photo Library has expertly captured this moment using their fisheye lens technique which enhances both depth and perspective. This print is more than just an image; it represents our fascination with atmospheric effects and electromagnetic storms that create these magical lights in our night skies.
