PIX4669194: Earth observed at night by satellite. Mosaic of hundreds of images obtained by four satellites DMSP (Defense Meteorological Satellite Program) from October 1994 to March 1995 - The image is a composite of hundreds of pictures made by the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) currently operates four satellites carrying the Operational Linescan System (OLS) in low-altitude polar orbits. Three of these satellites record nighttime data. The DMSP-OLS has a unique capability to detect low levels of visible-near infrared (VNIR) radiance at night. With the OLS 'VIS' band data it is possible to detect clouds illuminated by moonlight, plus lights from cities, towns, industrial sites, gas flares, and ephemeral events such as fires and lightning-illuminated clouds. October 1994 - March 1995 DMSP nighttime data collected when moonlight was low. Using the OLS thermal infrared band, areas containing clouds were removed and the remaining area used in the time series: Earth by night / Bridgeman Images
MDA4669467: Maison Schroder Schrader in Utrecht in the Netherlands. Realisation 1924, architect Gerrit Thomas Rietveld (1888-1964). This small family home, with its interior, its flexible spatial organization and its visual and formal qualities, is a manifesto of the ideals of Dutch artists and architects belonging to the De Stijl group during the 1920s. It is now recognized as one of the icons of the modern movement in architecture. / Bridgeman Images

PIX4669926: Aurora boreale observed in Alaska - 03 - 2007 - Aurora borealis - Aurora boreale observed in Alaska on 26 March 2007 during minimum solar activity. Aurora at Castner Creek taken from Alaska's Central Alaska Range on March 26, 2007. At solar minimum auroras have been infrequent and less powerful for the past couple years. This will slowly change over the next couple years as activity on the Sun begins to increase / Bridgeman Images
PIX4669937: Aurora boreale on Mount McKinley 10 - 2003 - Aurora borealis over Alaska Range 10 - 2003 - Aurora boreale observed in Alaska, October 16, 2003. In the distance, Mount McKinley, the highest peak in the United States at an altitude of 6194m. This image is facing the Alaska Range including North America's tallest peak Mount Mc Kinley at over 6200 meters. The shot is taken from near Talkeetna, Alaska about 65 miles from the mountain peaks. It shows an intense auroral breakup or sub-storm. October 16 2003 / Bridgeman Images
PIX4669938: Aurora boreale 10 - 2003 - Aurora borealis 10 - 2003 - Aurora boreale observed in Alaska, October 29, 2003. Blue aurora is rare. This image, was taken on October 29, 2003 from Homer, Alaska. It is a very rare blue aurora. Our eyes are not very sensitive to this end of the spectrum so if we are to see the color it has to be especially bright. Blue auroras are caused by the action of sunlight on already - ionized nitrogen molocules in a process known as resonance scattering. In this case the aurora reaches up out of the Earth's shadow into direct sunlight near dawn. This type of emission has been measured 1000 km or more into space / Bridgeman Images
PIX4669950: Aurora boreale 12 - 2001 - Aurora borealis 12 - 2001 - Aurora boreale observed in Alaska, December 24, 2001. The film recorded much more colours than those visible by human vision; visually, only a slight green glow was perceived. Image taken on Christmas Eve of 2001. Often the film will pick up more color than we see visually at night and this is a good example. Our eyes are somewhat color blind in dim conditions but the film is not. Visually one could only see a little green / Bridgeman Images
PIX4669961: Aurora boreale observed in Norway - 02 - 2006 - Aurora at Booster Bay - Norway. Feb 16 2006 - Aurora Boreale observed near the Andoya launch centre in Norway, February 16, 2006. The launch center is visible on the left. This image is taken at the Andoya Rocket Range near Andenes Norway. The Rocket launch facility is at left and the bay gets its name from the fact that many rocket boosters end up in the water as research rockets are launched out over the Ocean. The facility at 69.2 degrees north latitude is the world's northernmost permenent launch facility and is located right in the auroral zone where the auroras might be visible any night that it is dark and clear. It is the Norwegians who pioneered the study of the aurora and first determined its altituded photographically over 100 years ago / Bridgeman Images
