The sky on
your birthday.
Aurora Astern
From low Earth orbit, an astronaut looks out at the Earth's limb, where an aurora glows brightly. This celestial phenomenon is caused by solar particles interacting with our planet's magnetic field and atmosphere. The display of light stretches across the night sky, a reminder of the dynamic processes at play in space.
