“Airglow Sky over France” is copyrighted by Julien Looten. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThis image captures a rare phenomenon called airglow, where high-altitude air in Earth's atmosphere glows faintly. These striped bands are caused by the Sun's light exciting atmospheric gases, making them emit their own light. They stretch across the entire sky, creating an unusual backdrop for the Milky Way.
