“Aurora on Ice”No one can resist a good Aurora image, and this one is truly incredible! Dubbed “Aurora on ice” by the photographer, Thilo Bubek, it shows the aurora clearly reflected in smooth ice, which, is usually snow covered at the time of year this image was taken.Aurora, from the Latin meaning “dawn” form when charged particles “collide” with the troposphere, and they can only be seen at high latitudes. The source of the charged particles is the magnetosphere, and solar winds. For a more in-depth post on how Aurora’s form, head to our previous post, here; http://on.fb.me/VrcTONThe image was taken close to Tromsø, Norway,on January 21st, and is composed of stitched panoramas. -LLImage; Thilo Bubek -- source link
