“Nova Scotia Northern Lights” is copyrighted by Jason Dain. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThis striking display of northern lights was photographed from Nova Scotia, Canada, at 44 degrees north latitude. The five-second exposure captures the scene looking north from Martinique Beach Provincial Park. Stars of the W-shaped constellation Cassiopeia are visible above the horizon, shining through the red tint of the higher-altitude auroral glow. This aurora was anticipated due to stormy space weather.
