Description:

This is the Great Banded Airglow Display of Aug. 13, 2001. What this image depicts is the entire visible sky laced with bands of glowing oxygen molecules in Earth's ionosphere. The brightest of these bands were visible to the naked eye, but their color shows only in the time exposure.
