“Dragon Aurora over Norway” is copyrighted by Marco Bastoni. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteAn aurora, shaped like a dragon, glows over Tromsø, Norway. A large coronal hole released a cloud of fast-moving particles toward Earth. This cloud impacted our magnetosphere, creating spectacular auroras at high northern latitudes. The shimmering green glow comes from recombining atmospheric oxygen atoms.
