This week, photography lovers in Scotland, England, Norway, Canada and Alaska observed their skies glow because the largest solar radiation storm in seven years made magnificent auroras. The Earth's magnetic field directs this torrent of charged particles coming from such storms in the direction of the poles. Interactions with the atmosphere create the wavering lines of lovely color generally known as auroras, or Northern Lights. Listed below are our absolute favorite aurora borealis or northern lights images.

Children will certainly love the following! Fold-able playhouse made using recycled cardboard by gifted industrial designer Liya Mairson. "Inspired by pop-up books, "My Space" was designed for small apartments which lack the space for a dedicated playroom. When opened, it encourages children to experiment with different layouts and lets them bring to life their dreams and imaginary worlds. When closed, it can be easily stored behind a door or under a bed".

Re-imagined iconic pop culture superheroes and carton characters illustration collection "Icans" by Alex Pardee in order to protest against SOPA.
"Why am I calling them "Icans"? Glad you didn't really ask, but I'm telling you anyway. Well, because whether SOPA passes or not, I will continue to take any licensed character, or pop culture icon and do whatever I want with it for art's sake, because ICAN. Also, I just want to conduct an ongoing experiment to see if ICAN take any cool icon from pop culture and make it way shittier by "re-imagining" it. So far, much like Hollywood does most of the time, the experiment is a super fun success! ".
