Airglow over the Atacama

One of the several rising steps that climbs to the main cordillera of the Andes through the driest desert on Earth resembles a beach abutting onto a sea of clouds below and provides the backdrop for this gorgeous photo of airglow above the southern skies with our galaxy in the sky above.

It’s not just auroras that fill our sky with eerie light. The weaker phenomenon in the photo is called airglow (aka nightglow), and unlike the aurora, which is focussed towards the poles by Earth’s magnetic field, it can be seen from anywhere on Earth with luck and a dark sky or long exposure photo.

The California State Senate is voting on the Reproductive FACT Act today!
