Aurora observations, 1839
Aurora observations, 1839. Historical artwork of an aurora seen from Finland, on 21st January 1839. Aurorae, displays of coloured lights in the sky, form as charged particles in the solar wind are drawn by Earths magnetic field to the poles. There, they collide with gas atoms and molecules, causing them to emit light. Auroral displays outside the polar regions are usually due to a rise in solar activity

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Aurora Observations, 1839" takes us back in time to witness a mesmerizing natural phenomenon. The artwork depicts an aurora borealis seen from the coastal region of Finland on the 21st of January, 1839. In this stunning illustration from the 19th century, we are transported to a moment when charged particles in the solar wind were drawn by Earth's magnetic field towards the poles. The vibrant display of colored lights dancing across the night sky is a result of these charged particles colliding with gas atoms and molecules, causing them to emit light. While auroras are typically observed at polar latitudes due to increased solar activity, this rare sighting outside those regions adds intrigue and wonder. This historical artwork not only captures the beauty of nature but also serves as a reminder of our planet's intricate connection with space weather and electromagnetic effects. The ionization process and physical collisions depicted here showcase how astrophysics intertwines with atmospheric phenomena. As we gaze upon this piece, we are reminded that even centuries ago, humans marveled at such celestial wonders. This image invites us to appreciate both the scientific significance and artistic representation of these ethereal lights that have fascinated mankind for generations.
