“Northern Lights, September Skies” is copyrighted by Philippe Moussette. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThe Aurora Borealis, or Northern Lights, were particularly active in September 2005 due to a not-so-quiet Sun. A large solar active region produced intense flares and a coronal mass ejection. This image, captured with a fish-eye lens over Quebec, Canada, shows spectacular curtains of aurora on September 11.
