An incredible display of banded airglow fills the sky over Tibet plateau of China
April 27, 2014 - An incredible display of banded airglow that filled the entire sky over Tibet plateau of China. The glow is predominantly created by the excitation of atoms by ultraviolet light from the Sun, But whats the reason of the ripple like structure? Its the Atmospheric Gravity Waves, the oscillations of air parcels by the lifting force of bouyancy and the restoring force of gravity. This unusual gravity waves result from the violent thunderstorms over Bangladesh which is 300km away and enlarged by the wind flow over Himalayas

EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking print captures an extraordinary phenomenon that unfolded in the night sky over the Tibetan plateau of China. The image showcases a mesmerizing display of banded airglow, which illuminates the entire celestial expanse. While this ethereal glow is primarily caused by atoms being excited by ultraviolet light from the Sun, it is the ripple-like structure that truly captivates viewers. These captivating ripples are known as Atmospheric Gravity Waves and result from oscillations in air parcels due to buoyancy and gravity forces. In this particular instance, these unusual gravity waves were intensified by violent thunderstorms occurring 300 kilometers away over Bangladesh and further amplified by wind flow over the majestic Himalayas. The square-shaped photograph beautifully encapsulates not only this awe-inspiring natural occurrence but also highlights other elements such as stars, galaxies, and even hints of the Milky Way. With its fish-eye lens capturing a 360-degree view, viewers can immerse themselves in this idyllic scene where Earth's atmosphere dances with energy and mystique. Jeff Dai's masterful astrophotography skills have flawlessly captured both the majesty of nature and our connection to something greater than ourselves. This stunning image serves as a reminder of how small we are in comparison to the vastness of space while simultaneously igniting a sense of wonder within us all.
