Aurora borealis, Druridge Bay, UK
Aurora borealis, Druridge Bay. Rare view of northern lights over Druridge Bay in Northumberland, UK. The aurora borealis is a coloured light display (the northern lights) that is visible in the night sky, usually only at high latitudes. It occurs when charged and energetic particles from the Sun (the solar wind) are drawn by Earths magnetic field to the polar regions. Hundreds of kilometres up, they collide with gas molecules and atoms, causing them to emit light. Photographed on 16 July 2012

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a rare and breathtaking view of the Aurora Borealis over Druridge Bay in Northumberland, UK. The ethereal display of colored lights, known as the northern lights, is typically only visible at high latitudes in the night sky. This phenomenon occurs when charged particles from the Sun's solar wind are drawn by Earth's magnetic field to the polar regions. Taken on 16 July 2012 by photographer Thomas Heaton, this image showcases nature's spectacular light show against a backdrop of the English coast and ocean. The horizon glows with an otherworldly aura as vibrant streaks dance across the darkened sky. It is a mesmerizing sight that combines elements of astronomy, magnetism, meteorology, and physics. Hundreds of kilometers above Earth's surface, these energetic particles collide with gas molecules and atoms, causing them to emit light. The result is a magnificent visual spectacle that evokes awe and wonder for those fortunate enough to witness it firsthand. Heaton's skillful composition allows us to appreciate both the natural beauty of Druridge Bay and this extraordinary celestial event simultaneously. This photograph serves as a reminder of our planet's interconnectedness with space weather and highlights the sheer magnificence that can be found within our own atmosphere.
