EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph captures the mesmerizing beauty of the Aurora Borealis or Northern Lights, observed from the Isle of Skye in Scotland on 11 September 1874. The ethereal display of vibrant colors dancing across the night sky is a result of high-speed particles ejected from the Sun, creating this awe-inspiring astronomical phenomenon. During periods of maximum sunspots, such as that witnessed in 1874, these celestial lights are commonly observed. This particular print is taken from "Die Naturkrafte" by M Wilhelm Meyer and was published in Leipzig in 1903. The image transports us back to a time when scientific exploration and wonder were at their peak. It serves as a reminder that even over a century ago, humans marveled at nature's grandeur just as we do today. The Isle of Skye provides an idyllic backdrop for this celestial spectacle with its rugged landscapes and mystical atmosphere. The lights illuminate the darkness with hues ranging from vivid greens to deep purples, painting an otherworldly scene against the Scottish horizon. As we gaze upon this historic print, we are reminded of our smallness within the vastness of our universe. It invites us to appreciate both our planet's natural wonders and humanity's enduring fascination with exploring and understanding them
