“Green and Black Aurora Over Norway” is copyrighted by auroral displays. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThese green and black aurora over Norway show unusual gaps, sometimes called black auroras. Research suggests these gaps are actually anti-auroras. In normal auroras, negatively charged particles fall toward Earth, but in these gaps, they flow away, creating the dark lanes.
