AURORA BOREALIS (KAUNISPAÄ-SAARISELKÄ-FINNISH) -15Cº

Aurora polar (o aurora polaris) es un fenómeno en forma de brillo o luminiscencia que aparece en el cielo nocturno, actualmente en zonas polares, aunque puede aparecer en otras partes del mundo por cortos períodos de tiempo. En el hemisferio norte se conoce como aurora boreal, y en el hemisferio sur como aurora austral, cuyo nombre proviene de Aurora, la diosa romana del amanecer, y de la palabra griega Bóreas, que significa norte; debido a que en Europa comúnmente aparece en el horizonte con un tono rojizo, como si el sol emergiera de una dirección inusual.

Una aurora polar se produce cuando una eyección de masa solar choca con los polos norte y sur de la magnetósfera terrestre, produciendo una luz difusa pero predominante proyectada en la ionosfera terrestre.

Ocurre cuando partículas cargadas (protones y electrones) son guiadas por el campo magnético de la Tierra e inciden en la atmósfera cerca de los polos. Cuando esas partículas chocan con los átomos y moléculas de oxígeno y nitrógeno, que constituyen los componentes más abundantes del aire, parte de la energía de la colisión excita esos átomos a niveles de energía tales (estado excitado), que cuando se desexcitan disipan esa energía en forma de luz visible de varios colores.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
