“Ghost Aurora over Canada” is copyrighted by Yuichi Takasaka, TWAN. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThis unusual aurora appeared over northern Canada in 2013, taking on a ghostly shape. Auroras are caused by charged particles from the Sun interacting with Earth's magnetic field and atmosphere. While this one might inspire Halloween-themed interpretations, its green color is typical for auroras, resulting from oxygen atoms emitting light at specific altitudes.
