Ben Hattenbach, Geomagnetic Storm1. Central Alaska, USA. 2-2009 |
Located at the National Science Foundation in Arlington, VA. This resplendent array of forty-four printed photographs captures stunning atmospheric conditions. Images depicting the interplay of light’s interaction with the Earth’s atmosphere and its landscape feature entries from scientists, meteorologists, and amateur photographers from around the world. In themselves, the photographs are wondrous to behold; for those interested in delving into the scientific explanation of these phenomena, accompanying understanding is made possible through nine interpretative panels furnished through the courtesy of Dr. Les Cowley from his “Atmospheric Optics” web site (http://www.atoptics.co.uk)* and Dr. Charles Adler, St. Mary’s College of Maryland. The exhibition is accompanied by a digital display of the original photographic entries. |
