The ancient stories of the Sami people warn that if you mock the lights they will seize you, and their mythical appeal continues to capture the hearts and imagination of people across the globe. Aurora explores the visual beauty, ancient myths and science of the northern lights and challenges the popular theory of how the lights are formed. Plasma physicist Melanie Windridge explains this extraordinary and evocative phenomenon, a scientific marvel unlike any other in which the powers of astronomy, geology, magnetism and atomic physics combine to create one of the wonders of the natural world. As Melanie travels in search of the perfect aurora, she uncovers the scientific realities of this plasmic phenomenon full of natural power. She combines the science behind the lights with a fascinating travelogue as she pursues the aurora across the northern hemisphere – from the Arctic Circle to Scotland. Review: EXCITING TRAVEL AND PHYSICS - Physicist and adventurer Melanie Windridge recounts her travels to polar regions in search of an understanding of the aurora borealis. Her explanation of the physics behind the aurora is as clear as the arctic sky, understandable to anyone with a high school science education. My paperback edition did not have high-resolution color photos, which would have enhanced my reading experience. The author tells us that our incomplete knowledge of the aurora keeps one of earth’s most captivating phenomena a timeless mystery. Review: Fascinating - I have been interested in the Northern Lights for years—actually stayed up all night in a northern window of a hotel in Scotland high above the Atlantic in the late spring trying to catch a glimpse. I was much younger and this book hadn’t been written yet. I needed more information! Ordinarily June is not the right month. I didn’t expect a wonderful tour guide from this book, but I truly appreciate all the details and personal accounts and history of the locations Dr. Windridge visited. The scientific explanations of the Aurora Borealis, eclipses, solar and geomagnetic storms were fascinating and fairly easy to understand. I am not a scientist. I read this book in one evening—the night I bought it! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,483,059 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #129 in Magnetism in Physics #305 in Artic Polar Region Travel Guides #336 in Star-Gazing (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 92 Reviews | ## Images ![Aurora: In Search of the Northern Lights - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71hTgjazp7L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ EXCITING TRAVEL AND PHYSICS *by D***F on October 11, 2024* Physicist and adventurer Melanie Windridge recounts her travels to polar regions in search of an understanding of the aurora borealis.
