On this night of
March 20, 2002, this colorful
auroral display seemed to
cascade from the moonlit sky over the
trees near Wickersham
Dome, north of Fairbanks, Alaska.
The flowing rays from this
classic type-A auroral display
extend vertically through the
atmosphere from about 60 miles
up (within the green light) to
more than 120 miles up (within
the red). |
