EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph captures a rare and mesmerizing astronomical phenomenon - the Aurora Borealis or Northern Lights observed from Guildford, Surrey, England on 14 October 1870. The ethereal display of vibrant colors dancing across the night sky is truly awe-inspiring. Caused by high-speed particles ejected from the Sun, these enchanting lights are most commonly witnessed during periods of maximum sunspots. This particular occurrence was documented by M Wilhelm Meyer in his renowned work "Die Naturkrafte" published in Leipzig in 1903. The image transports us back to a time when such celestial wonders were not as widely understood or easily captured. It serves as a testament to both the beauty and mystery that our universe holds. Guildford, located in Surrey, England, may seem an unlikely place for such a spectacle; however, nature's magic knows no boundaries. This extraordinary event must have left its spectators spellbound and filled with wonderment. As we gaze upon this historical print today, it reminds us of our connection to the cosmos and how even centuries ago people marveled at these celestial occurrences just as we do now. Let this image serve as a reminder that there is still so much about our world and beyond waiting to be discovered and appreciated.
