Aurora at Midnight

NASA APOD · J. Curtis (U. Alaska Fairbanks)
COSMIC MESSAGE

An aurora glows green and red over Fairbanks, Alaska, in this midnight photo. Ionized oxygen high in Earth's atmosphere causes the green ring. Clouds reflect and absorb the aurora's light, giving them a reddish tint. These displays are a visible reminder of our planet's interaction with the Sun's charged particles.
