“Window Seat over Hudson Bay” is copyrighted by Ralf Rohner. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThis aurora over Hudson Bay was captured from a window seat on a night flight. The curtains of light draped a colorful glow across the sky. The image is a stack of six short exposures, showing the shimmering aurora borealis just as the high-altitude sunrise illuminated the northeastern horizon. A Perseid meteor also streaked beneath the handle stars of the Big Dipper.
