The appeal of astronomical events posters

Ever since the beginning of human history, people have looked up at the sky for the presence of the sun, the stars or moon, with various cultures interpreting these celestial bodies in different connotations. They have acted as the link between civilizations and their gods, as well as a working calendar. This ancient obsession is already part of man's nature, which is why astronomical events posters are the ideal tool to capture that allure and the beauty of the sky up above us. Whether or not you are feeling inspired to learn about the wonders of the sky, the solar system, and all the science behind it, astronomical events posters is the focal point you have been searching for. From real life photographs that make you feel like you are actually witnessing these phenomena live, to works of art that shine a more artistic light on these wonders of the natural world, Photowall has it all for you. We have included for your convenience and perusal the famous northern lights, also sometimes referred to as Nordic lights and aurora borealis, as well as solar, lunar and total eclipses. No matter where you put these motifs up, you will be the proverbial talk of the town with these wonderful images.

All eyes to the sky

The northern lights, also called the aurora borealis, appear when tiny particles stream out from the sun and hit Earth’s atmosphere. These particles give some of their energy to atoms and molecules of gases in the upper atmosphere, but the atoms and molecules cannot hold its energy. They quickly give it off as another kind of energy, which becomes the colours of light that we call the aurora. You can see it in astronomical events posters such as Aurora Borealis over Burntside Lake, a magnificent wall decor that will revitalize any home or office. These lights occur most often around the North Pole and South Pole because the incoming particles have an electric charge. Essentially, the atmosphere basically acts as a gigantic neon sign. Northern Light over Troms Coast, Norway is another absolutely stunning astronomical events poster illustrates how truly breathtaking seeing something like this can be.

Eclipsing in astronomical events posters

An eclipse is basically when one celestial object moves in front of another one. There are merely two types of eclipses, solar and lunar. Solar eclipses occur when the moon moves directly between the earth and sun, where the latter totally or partially disappears for a period of time. The aptly titled Solar Eclipse is an astronomical events poster that depicts this phenomenon almost exactly how you would actually observe in the real world. A lunar eclipse takes place when the moon crosses the earth's shadow, causing the moon to disappear from the sky for a certain amount of time. During a total lunar eclipse, the blotted-out moon reappears for a short time, looking reddish-brown. This is because some of the sunlight that reaches Earth is scattered back by our atmosphere. You can see the entire process in the astronomical events poster named Lunar Eclipse.
