A Proton Aurora
NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE
Auroras are typically caused by electrons colliding with Earth's atmosphere, but protons can also create them. This image shows a proton aurora, a rarer phenomenon. These collisions with heavier protons also excite atmospheric gases, causing them to emit light, though often in different wavelengths than electron auroras.
