Sólheimasandur is one of the most remote places were to spend a night chasing northern lights. Hearing the atlantic ocean yelling in the complete darkness was a quite scaring experience. Fortunately the wind and the temperature were quite bearable. Two years ago (when a I shot the picture hereafter) I could barely stand against the wind.
The fuselage was light-painted with a warm (on the left) and a cold (on the right) light source (thanks Sanny!). I lighted the plane interior with a Canon Speedlite, by triggering the camera through the canon "Eos Remote" App for my iPhone and the handy Wifi feature of my canon 6D, which was standing on a tripod at about 40m distance. Once finished playing with the flash I admit having some difficulties to locate my camera, since was completely hidden by the darkness!
The composition is quite weak. Again I found quite difficult to match the shapes of the northern lights with the foreground object.
This image is a ‘tachogram’ of the Sun, taken with the Polarimetric and Helioseismic Imager (PHI) Full Disc Telescope on ESA’s Solar Orbiter on 18 June 2020. It shows the line of sight velocity of the Sun, with the blue side turning to us and the red side turning away.

The Polarimetric and Helioseismic Imager (PHI) on ESA’s Solar Orbiter measures the magnetic field at the Sun’s surface and allows the investigation of the Sun’s interior via the technique of helioseismology.
The top left image is a view of the Sun taken by PHI’s Full Disc Telescope on 18 June 2020. This is a visible light image and represents what we would see with the naked eye. There are no sunspots visible because the Sun is displaying only low levels of magnetic activity at the moment. Below this is a close-up image taken by PHI’s High Resolution Telescope on 28 May 2020. The area is approximately 200 000 km x 200 000 km across and is centred on the middle of the Sun. It shows the Sun’s granulation pattern that results from the movement of hot plasma under the Sun’s visible surface.
The top image of the middle column reveals the magnetic properties of the same region. Dark and light areas show the north and south magnetic polarities of those areas. The full disc image below shows a similar magnetic map but for the whole Sun. Taken on 18 June 2020, there is a large magnetically active region in the lower right-hand quadrant of the Sun.
The top image of the right-hand column is a ‘tachogram’ of the Sun, again taken with the PHI Full Disc Telescope on 18 June 2020. It shows the line of sight velocity of the Sun, with the blue side turning to us and the red side turning away. The close-up image below is a similar tachogram but for the close-up area of the Sun that PHI imaged on 28 May 2020. Here, the granulation pattern can be seen as well as the change from blue to red, which signifies the overall rotation of the Sun. In this image, yellow (rather than white) denotes the zero line-of-sight velocity.

Un rizoma cándido es cándido por vocación, provocador por naturaleza.
Puede soñar con derribar un mural o re-crearlo porque puede soñar.

A candidum rhizome is candid by vocation, provocative by nature.
It can dream of demolishing a pool or re-create it because it can dream.
This image shows the Orion B molecular cloud, based on a combination of data from ESA’s Herschel and Planck space telescopes. The bright areas in the picture shows the emission by interstellar dust grains in three different wavelengths observed by Herschel (250, 350, and 500 microns) and the lines crossing the image in a ‘drapery pattern’ represent the magnetic field orientation (based on the Planck data.)
Orion B, along with Orion A, make up the Orion Molecular Cloud Complex, a large group of bright and dark nebulae stretching across the iconic constellation of Orion. The Orion B portion of the complex is home to the Flame Nebula, seen as a large bright area at the bottom of the image. The Flame Nebula is an emission nebula and contains a cluster of newly formed massive stars at its centre. Protruding from the edge at the bottom of the image as a small lump is the famous Horsehead Nebula.
At the top of the image near a cross of filaments are two bright areas, the reflection nebulae NGC 2071 and NGC 2068, which also have high dust densities.

This image shows a magnetogram taken with the Polarimetric and Helioseismic Imager (PHI) High Resolution Telescope on ESA’s Solar Orbiter on 28 May 2020. It spans an area of approximately 200 000 km x 200 000 km on the solar surface. The small structures seen are magnetic regions of both north and south polarities, some of which have sizes of a few 1000 km.

Joan Miró i Ferrà (1893-1983) was a Spanish painter, sculptor and ceramicist born in Barcelona. Earning international acclaim, Miro's work has been interpreted as Surrealism but with a personal style. He was notable for his interest in the unconscious or the subconscious mind, reflected in his re-creation of the childlike.
Much of Miro's art, painted in the period 1924-1927, are called "magnetic fields". These paintings consist of spare, monochromatic canvases inhabited by simple and often whimsical biomorphic shapes. The lone form in 'Peinture 1926' beams across the empty, hazy space of the picture. The only spatial definition is provided by a dotted line, which connects one edge to the form and then extends upward. Spontaneous and intuitive, the smiling shape is tenuously tied to a rectangular base, it's glazed grin lit by the half-shadowed moon.
This painting seen and photographed on exhibit at San Francisco's Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA).

>>> MORE LO-FI SCIENCE FROM THE TRONA SOLAR OBSERVATORY. SHOOTING WITH A MYLAR FILTER IN BW, AS YOU PERHAPS NOTICED (ALONG WITH SUNSPOTS 2651 AND 2653 IN THE CENTER DISK -- 2652 IS CONSIDERABLY SMALLER AND FAINT). NOT MY FINEST BATCH OR HOUR, SHOOTING AT... WELL, A DIFFICULT HOUR WITH THE SUN DIRECTLY OVERHEAD IN A CLOUDLESS SKY AND THE TEMP HOVERING AROUND 90. THANK YOU FOR TAKING A LOOK ANYWAY. PROST.
From the amazing night of September 12, 2014, when an intense CME struck the Earth. This was probably at the height of the storm. It's also reassuring to know that the colors of the Aurora come from the Earth's atmosphere and magnetic field protecting us from radiation. Thanks for looking!

This is the view to the west of Bangui Bay. This image shows 5 of the 15 turbines of Bangui Bay.
These 15 wind turbines(called Vestas NM82) provide a total of almost 25 MW of power and is part of the Luzon Island grid in the Philippines. Height of these windmills is 70 meters. Each of the three blades has a length of 41 meters. The wind swept area of the rotors is approximately 5,280 square meters. Each windmill is 326 meters a part, almost 1/3 of a kilometer.
Location of this turbines is at Pebble Beach, in the shores of Bangui Bay, Ilocos Norte province. Thiese turbines is the first power plant of its kind in the Philippines and Southeast Asia.

and dance in the neon rain
the title of this photo was inspired by the saddest story ever told
**the video is obviously not magnetic fields, but i thought he was so adorably squeezey, i couldn't help myself***
The mysterious shifting sands in Ngorongoro Conservation Area that shifts 10 meters per year, always maintaining its crescent shape
The Northern Lights dance across the sky as a backdrop to the Foster Covered Bridge in Cabot Vermont.
My album cover contest has come to a close and the scores have been tallied. Contestants received a half point for each artist correctly identified and a half point for each album, making the highest possible score 55 points.
And the winner is... Raul Gutierrez!
Combining his own considerable musical knowledge with that of several friends, as well as incorporating some clever cyber-sleuthing techniques, Raul was able to at least partially identify a whopping forty-four of the fifty-five album covers for a total of 41 points.
I will be creating a song for Raul, tailored to the topic of his choice. It remains to be seen if this prize makes him a lucky winner.

It comforts me that the Northern Lights are a signal that our Earth's atmosphere and magnetic field are protecting us from radiation coming from the sun and space. The light show we see is also grounded in physics and chemistry; the Lorentz force causes the path of a charged particle to bend in a magnetic field, and to twist around magnetic field lines. Charged particles emitted by the sun after a coronal mass ejection, if approaching the Earth with the right trajectory, can be trapped by the Earth's magnetic field, causing them to spiral inward toward the Earth's magnetic poles. As these high-energy particles reach lower altitudes, they can collide with gas molecules in the atmosphere, causing these molecules to become excited and to emit light. The colors depend on the type of molecule and the altitude, which both affect the types of molecular transitions that can occur before other types of non-radiative decays.
This is straight out of the camera, because by the time I got home, it was too late for processing. What an amazing experience having seen the Aurora Borealis for the first time in 13 years. I feel extremely fortunate to have seen it and to have had the chance to capture it.
Thanks for looking!

Crazy Bright Aurora Borealis - Northern Lights in Alaska 03-18-2015
How Bright Do The Northern Lights or Aurora Borealis Get???
On St. Patrick’s Day evening (March 17 until the morning of March 18 of 2015) The Aurora Borealis got So "Crazy" Bright for us all North of Fairbanks Alaska!!!
Bright enough to reflect off the Windshield & Paint of our 4x4 Vehicle, then I pointed the Camera straight up to capture this super bright section of Aurora, it became brighter than a Full Moon! In another image, take a look at my 2015 Aurora Hunting Crew standing on the Green Snow.
The Aurora became so bright that it changed the appearance of the color of the Snow.
Most of these photos are 5 seconds exposures or less, I could literally read a newspaper by the light of the Aurora Borealis that night!
Simply Amazing to watch Live!!!!
Here is a Panning time lapse Aurora Movie I created from another night of Aurora Borealis in Alaska!
Best Regards,
John Chumack
