Book excerpt: Excerpt from On the Aurora Borealis and the Aurora Australis Gmelin, the botanist, describes the splendid exhibitions of aurora he had witnessed in Siberia as follows: It begins with solitary pillars of light, rising in the north and almost at the same time in the northeast, which, gradually swelling, at last comprehend 'a large part of the firmament, rush about from place to place with incredible velocity, and finally cover the whole sky up to the zenith, and produce the impression of a vast tent hung in the heavens, and glittering with gold, rubies, and sapphire. A more beautiful spectacle cannot be imagined. But' whoever should see such a northern light for the first time could not behold it without terror. So constantly accompanied is it, as I have been informed by several intelligent persons, with hissings and cracklings like those of fireworks. The hunters who go in search of the blue fox to the confines of the Frozen Ocean are frequently surprised by the unexpected appearance of this meteor; their dogs are frightened by it to such a degree that they fall to the ground and will not move till the noise has The inhabitants have a phrase to express this particular noise, which translated means, The raging host is passing. Cavallo, referring to the aurora, says: Sometimes these coruscations. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Aurora Borealis The first work, devoted entirely to the study of Polar Auroras, was written in France; it is entitled 'Traite Physique et Historique de l'Aurore Boreale, ' and was published in 1733 by De Mairan, in the 'Memoires' of the 'Academie des Sciences.' We must allow a century to elapse before we find anything to be compared with it in importance and volume, when the work 'Aurores Boreales' appeared in the collection of the corvette 'Recherche.' This volume, accompanied by magnificent plates - of which we shall reproduce the most interesting - contains records of observations of the aurora borealis taken in Lapland during the winter of 1838-39 by Bravais, Lottin, Lillihoeoek, and Siljestroem. Bravais added general remarks on this phenomenon, and discussed the principal observations collected at that date, and the various hypotheses put forward to account for them.

This book was released on 2018-10-12 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Observations of the Aurora Borealis: From September 1834 to September 1839 Ashurst, September 30, 1836.-at about 9b the Aurora appeared as a very brilliant and distinct white arch about 8° high, from the more westerly-por tion of which a fine deep garnet-coloured blush spread itself over a great portion of the sky, although the moon was shining brilliantly. This was succeeded by irregular undulating flashes, resembling in character the remarkable display of November 18, 1835, but much less brilliantly developed. Soon after 10h all trace of the Aurora was lost. The next morning was ushered in with violent wind and rain. The word flash is perhaps too expressive of rapidity of motion to be applied to the Aurora. A lambent undulating glow, like that of phosphorus, is an expression more truly descriptive of the phenomenon. Ashurst, October 15, 1836. - Much Auroral light generally diffused throughout the sky. At midnight a few very faint streamers were perceptible. Sky calm and cloudless. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Aurora Borealis: Or Flashes of Wit; Calculated to Drown Dull Care and Eradicate the Blue Devils When Mr. Joseph Lancaster had finished hit lecture, from the chair of the house of representatives in the U. S., Mr. Clay, the speaker, complimented him, saying that the chair had never before been filled so well. Mr. Lancaster very modestly replied, that man, in his purest aspect, was but a very humble instrument in the hands of a higher Power; the chair he had just filled, exalted as it was had not been filled with any thing better than Clay. An elderly lady, expressing her surprise at the present fashions, observed that, now-a-days, there was not any display of dress, the present mode tending only to show the shape not to set off the attire, and wondered that the ladies should ever have relinquished hoops and stiff brocade, for muslin dresses, like tinder. A gentleman remarked, this was done probably to catch the sparks. When Mrs. Robinson published her Sappho and Phaon, she wrote to Mr. Boaden, the newspaper editor - "Mrs. Robinson would thank her friend Boaden for a dozen Puffs for Sappho and Phaon."

Download or read book Observations on the Aurora Classic Reprint written by Charles S. Wright and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-12 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Observations on the Aurora The report which follows is based on data and sketches brought back on the termination of the Expedition, which remained in my charge and were not dealt with until the conclusion of the war. In the normal course of events, they would have been sent to Dr. G. C. Simpson, for analysis, since the auroral observations were made under his direction. Only at the conclusion of the war were the data rediscovered, and they were then analysed by myself, owing to pressure on Dr. Simpson of work in connection with the meteorological report. Though all members of the Expedition took their turn on the auroral watch the credit for the observations lies chiefly with Dr. Simpson and with Major R. E. Priestley, who organised and directed the scientific work of the Northern party. The labours of the latter small party must indeed have been greatly increased by the burden of auroral observations taken every two hours during the winter, and very great credit is due to Priestley and to other members of this party for their zeal and energy. One point which has not received attention in the report, but which cannot be allowed to escape notice, is that on our Expedition, as on others, reports were made that aurora had been seen at low altitudes and that a crackling noise accompanied the display. The first instance was the report that aurora was visible between winter quarters at Cape Evans and Mt. Erebus. The whole scientific staff at once left the but to investigate, but no such phenomenon was visible by that time. Major Priestley, however, informs me that a similar phenomenon was reported from Cape Royds during the Shackleton Expedition in 1908, this time by one of the scientific staff.

Book excerpt: Electric green pierced by neon blue, shocking pink spinning into violent red, and shimmering purple sidled up against deep indigo: never before have you seen such high-octane colors in the sky, and never before has a book shown the northern lights-aurora borealis-in such vivid color. In Northern Lights, photographers Calvin Hall and Daryl Pederson bring to print nearly a hundred photographs of this amazing natural phenomenon, shot from remote locations all over Alaska and using no filters or digital enhancement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learn about the science of the Aurora Borealis with iMinds insightful knowledge series. The aurora borealis, often referred to as the northern lights, is a natural light-show that appears in the sky around the north magnetic pole. Auroras can sometimes be seen in other places of the world, but not as clearly. In the southern hemisphere, the phenomenon is called "aurora australis." The aurora borealis occurs because of an interaction between solar wind and the Earth's magnetic field. When the sun's gases explode, some of the particles are blown away in a phenomenon known as solar wind. The particles in the solar wind travel at speeds of over 600,000 miles per hour and take two to three days to reach the Earth. iMinds brings targeted knowledge to your eReading device with short information segments to whet your mental appetite and broaden your mind.
