The Northern Lights: Celestial Performances of the Aurora Borealis
Description
The northern lights, also known as the aurora borealis, put on remarkable
shows of light and motion in high latitudes–Alaska being the perfect place to
see them. Shot with ultra-high definition cameras, this book of amazing
photographs showcases a period of unusually high solar activity in the
northern lights. These new photos take full advantage of the latest advances
in photographic technology and the active solar storms of the past several
years that cause the lights. With 160 images that have never been collected in
book form, this book allows us to witness charged particles in the earth’s
atmosphere clash with electrons and protons released by the sun. Read more
