Aurora over Antarctica, satellite image
Aurora over Antarctica, ultraviolet satellite image. Australia is at upper left. This is the aurora australis (green ring), the southern lights display. It is caused by interactions between charged particles from the Sun (the solar wind) and gas atoms and molecules about 100 kilometres above the Earth. On reaching Earth, the charged particles are drawn by Earths magnetic field to the poles, where they collide with gas atoms and molecules, causing them to emit light. This display, on 11 September 2005, was caused by a large solar flare. The aurora image was obtained by NASAs IMAGE satellite, which carried out a five year study of Earths magnetic field

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing beauty of the Aurora Australis, also known as the southern lights, over Antarctica. Taken by NASA's IMAGE satellite on 11 September 2005, this ultraviolet satellite image showcases a stunning green ring encircling Australia at the upper left corner. The aurora phenomenon occurs when charged particles from the Sun interact with gas atoms and molecules about 100 kilometers above Earth's surface. Drawn by Earth's magnetic field to the poles, these charged particles collide with gas atoms and molecules, resulting in an ethereal emission of light. The particular display captured in this image was caused by a powerful solar flare. The IMAGE satellite conducted a comprehensive five-year study of Earth's magnetic field, providing valuable insights into our planet's electromagnetic effects and atmospheric phenomena. This photograph serves as a reminder of both the awe-inspiring wonders present within our solar system and humanity's continuous exploration of space. It symbolizes scientific progress and highlights our understanding of astrophysics and earth sciences in the 21st century. As we gaze upon this glowing round spectacle against the backdrop of Antarctica, we are reminded that nature constantly presents us with breathtaking natural phenomena like these Southern Lights—a testament to the immense beauty that exists beyond our planet’s boundaries.
