“Auroral Corona over Norway” is copyrighted by Harald Albrigtsen. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThe aurora rarely reaches below 60 kilometers, extending up to 1000 kilometers above Earth. Auroral light results from energetic electrons and protons striking atoms and molecules in the Earth's atmosphere. An auroral corona, like this brief green display over Norway, appears when an aurora develops directly overhead. Auroral rays are pointed nearly toward the observer, creating this striking effect.
