Aurora Slathers Up the Sky
An aurora glows green across the sky in this image from the International Space Station. Orbiting 400 kilometers above Earth, the station is within the upper reaches of the aurora. The green color comes from excited atomic oxygen at these extreme altitudes. Higher up, a rarer reddish glow can appear.
