Aurora's Angel: A dark fantasy romance

Product Information

As a result, the solar wind moves magnetic flux (tubes of magnetic field lines, 'locked' together with their resident plasma) from the day side of Earth to the magnetotail, widening the obstacle it presents to the solar wind flow and constricting the tail on the night-side.

These electrons often, but not always, exhibit a peak in their energy distribution, and are preferentially aligned along the local direction of the magnetic field. She was so different and so unabashed about getting in Aurora’s space and challenging her in a way that no one else would ever dare and yet doing it so that Aurora never felt the need to display her own dominance. Since Lucifer's sin mainly consists of self-deification, some Gnostic sects identified Lucifer with the creator deity in the Old Testament. But Lucifer, the light, fled from her, and would not yield to her wishes; he was the light which flies into the most distant parts of heaven, the mouse which flies before the cat.Earth is constantly immersed in the solar wind, a flow of magnetized hot plasma (a gas of free electrons and positive ions) emitted by the Sun in all directions, a result of the two-million-degree temperature of the Sun's outermost layer, the corona. It was supposed to be sung while bathed in the first light of day as a joyous celebration of survival, not underground in the middle of the night!

Four and a half years have passed since the Battle of the Empress's Last Stand, the battle that sealed the fate of the East and ended Empress Natasia's reign. In addition to the discrete and diffuse electron aurora, proton aurora is caused when magnetospheric protons collide with the upper atmosphere. The interaction of accelerated electrons from the solar wind with gas particles in the coma is responsible for the aurora. They believed that the lights were the spirits of their departed friends dancing in the sky, and when they shone brightly it meant that their deceased friends were very happy. But if Luna (the Moon) is a goddess, then Lucifer (the Morning-Star) also and the rest of the Wandering Stars ( Stellae Errantes) will have to be counted gods; and if so, then the Fixed Stars ( Stellae Inerrantes) as well.The main findings have been that auroral arcs and other bright forms are due to electrons that have been accelerated during the final few 10,000 km or so of their plunge into the atmosphere.

Green: At lower altitudes, the more frequent collisions suppress the 630 nm (red) mode: rather the 557. Among the Māori people of New Zealand, aurora australis or Tahunui-a-rangi ("great torches in the sky") were alight by ancestors who sailed south to a "land of ice" (or their descendants); [84] [85] these people were said to be Ui-te-Rangiora's expedition party who had reached the Southern Ocean. The custom, inspired by the teachings of Gnosticism, usually reveres Lucifer not as the devil, but as a savior, a guardian or instructing spirit [117] or even the true god as opposed to Jehovah. In the several modern Wiccan traditions based in part on Leland's work, the figure of Lucifer is usually either omitted or replaced as Diana's consort with either the Etruscan god Tagni, or Dianus ( Janus, following the work of folklorist James Frazer in The Golden Bough). Observations of the rhythmic movement of compass needles due to the influence of an aurora were confirmed in the Swedish city of Uppsala by Anders Celsius and Olof Hiorter.

In addition to all these, a weak glow (often deep red) observed around the two polar cusps, the field lines separating the ones that close through Earth from those that are swept into the tail and close remotely. citation needed] The altitudes where auroral emissions occur were revealed by Carl Størmer and his colleagues, who used cameras to triangulate more than 12,000 auroras. The Greek myth of Phaethon, a personification of the planet Jupiter, [41] follows a similar pattern. Maybe a drunk guard who’d taken a wrong turn and instead of going to the barracks to sleep it off, ended up wandering around lost and confused in the labyrinth of tunnels?

The skilled, young botanist rarely leaves her living quarters, where she maintains an elaborate garden. Moved by this sight, Fubao became pregnant and gave birth to a son, the Emperor Xuanyuan, known legendarily as the initiator of Chinese culture and the ancestor of all Chinese people. Two of the five probes, positioned approximately one third the distance to the Moon, measured events suggesting a magnetic reconnection event 96 seconds prior to auroral intensification.

The Dieri people of South Australia say that an auroral display is kootchee, an evil spirit creating a large fire. An electron spirals (gyrates) about a field line at an angle that is determined by its velocity vectors, parallel and perpendicular, respectively, to the local geomagnetic field vector B. The Sumerian goddess Inanna ( Babylonian Ishtar) is associated with the planet Venus, and Inanna's actions in several of her myths, including Inanna and Shukaletuda and Inanna's Descent into the Underworld appear to parallel the motion of Venus as it progresses through its synodic cycle. The word aurora is derived from the name of the Roman goddess of the dawn, Aurora, who travelled from east to west announcing the coming of the sun.
