Aurora borealis and Moon

Aurora borealis and Moon over mountains and trees by a river. This coloured light display (the northern lights) is visible 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 by the Koyukuk River, near Wiseman, Alaska, USA

EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking print captures the ethereal beauty of the Aurora borealis and Moon over a serene landscape. Set against a backdrop of majestic mountains, towering trees, and a tranquil river, this mesmerizing display of colored lights illuminates the night sky at high latitudes. The phenomenon occurs when charged particles from the Sun's solar wind interact with Earth's magnetic field, drawing them towards the polar regions. Hundreds of kilometers above us, these energetic particles collide with gas molecules and atoms in Earth's atmosphere, causing them to emit vibrant hues that dance across the heavens. In this particular shot taken near Wiseman, Alaska, USA along the Koyukuk River, nature showcases its celestial artistry as green streaks of light intertwine with reflections on calm waters. The photograph not only captures an awe-inspiring natural spectacle but also serves as a testament to our understanding of earth science and astrophysics. It reminds us of our interconnectedness with space weather and how it shapes our physical geography. As we gaze upon this image filled with colors that seem almost otherworldly yet harmoniously blend into our own planet's tapestry, we are reminded of both the grandeur and fragility of our world. With every glance at this print by Science Photo Library, one cannot help but be transported into a realm where earthly wonders merge seamlessly with cosmic marvels—a reminder that even in darkness there is always light to guide us through life's journeys.
