Towards the Magnetic Storm
NASA APOD 18. January 2024
This image, captured near Winnipeg, shows how the aurora varies depending on altitude. The green color occurs when charged particles collide with high concentrations of oxygen molecules in the Earth's atmosphere at altitudes of 100 to 300 kilometers. The red tones arise when solar particles react with less concentrated oxygen at higher altitudes, around 300 to 400 km.
Unimpressed by the colorful display, the Milky Way rises majestically above the hustle and bustle on our planet, which orbits one of the galaxy's more inconspicuous stars and as if that wasn't enough, there's a hint of the Andromeda Galaxy at the top left, reminding us that even our massive home galaxy is only a tiny part of the universe.
