Aurora boreal

moussette aur16jul1 full 500x316 Aurora boreal

Explanation: While enjoying the spaceweather on a gorgeous summer evening in mid-July, astronomer Philippe Moussette captured this colorful fish-eye lens view looking north from the Observatoire Mont Cosmos, Quebec, Canada, planet Earth. In the foreground, lights along the northern horizon give an orange cast to the low clouds. But far above the clouds, at altitudes of 100 kilometers or more, are alluring green and purple hues of the aurora borealis or northern lights, a glow powered by energetic particles at the edge of space. In the background are familiar stars of the northern sky. In particular, that famous celestial kitchen utensil, the Big Dipper (left), and the W-shaped constellation Cassiopeia (right) are easy to spot. Then, just follow the pointer stars of the Big Dipper to Polaris, perhaps the most famous northern light of all.

Eu nunca ví, mas, além da física, deve ser bonito! Mas a beleza estética não exclui a beleza da física!!!

  1. What makes you think I understand Portuguese? Anyway, yes, it doesn’t matter if it’s a perfectly logical and natural occurrence or if it’s a piece of art that someone created in his basement because he had too much free time. I enjoy colour, and colour in unusual places makes me all giddy.
