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

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.
