Atmospheric airglow and auroral displays represent distinct photochemical phenomena within the upper atmosphere. While auroras are triggered by solar wind particles colliding with magnetic field lines, airglow results from chemiluminescence, where atoms such as oxygen and nitrogen release energy after being ionized by solar radiation during the day. This image captures the overlap of these processes, highlighting the complex vertical structure and chemical composition of the ionosphere. This interaction provides critical data for researchers studying planetary atmospheric dynamics and solar-terrestrial physics. #Astrophysics #NASA #AtmosphericScience #Airglow #Astronomy

#Atmospheric #Glow, or #Airglow, is the faint emission of light by a planetary atmosphere caused by chemical reactions, solar radiation, and cosmic rays interacting with upper-atmosphere atoms and molecules.

Tanglefoot, Australia’s only cold-weather deciduous species, attracts thousands to witness ‘the turn’. However, few will have seen them glowing in gold tones. The organism emits garish colours in response to UV light in a process called bio-fluorescence. This particular evening brought subtle aurora and airglow, a rare synergy in these forests.Photograph: Benjamin Alldridge/Australian Geographic

Aurorae? No this is #airglow, caused by processes internal to our atmosphere. You really only see this at very dark sites.

Earth's atmosphere with airglow over Southeast Asia at night, with a sprite above tropical thunder clouds.
Airglow at night is continuous high altitude air gas optical emission, releasing energy that had been accumulated during the daytime.
Sprites are transient (brief) electric/optical discharges from plasma in the atmosphere above thunderclouds.

Greenlight for next two ESA #Scout missions, Hibidis and SOVA-S: https://www.esa.int/Applications/Observing_the_Earth/FutureEO/Greenlight_for_next_two_ESA_Scout_missions - the latter is "Satellite Observation of Waves in the Atmosphere – Scout" with a shortwave infrared imager to provide near-global daily observations of #GravityWaves at an altitude of between 80 km and 120 km by measuring the intensity of #airglow, a faint emission of light produced by a chemical reaction in the atmosphere.

Standing on the Shoulders of Giants
This photograph comes from the heart of the Sierra La Giganta in Baja California Sur, Mexico, following a two-day expedition from the small village of San Juan Londo. The final approach required an ascent of more than 800 metres by mule along a long-forgotten section of the historic Camino Real, once used by vaqueros and their donkeys to transport goods between remote settlements.

Atmospheric glow, often referred to as #Airglow, is a faint emission of light by a planetary atmosphere caused by chemical reactions triggered by solar radiation during the day.
Unlike the aurora, which is driven by high-energy solar particles hitting the poles, airglow occurs across the entire sky and is most visible from space as a thin, luminous bubble wrapping the Earth.

#PhotoOfTheDay: #MilkyWay and #Airglow
The Milky Way stretches below the curve of Earth's limb in the scene that also records a faint red, extended airglow.
The galaxy's central bulge appears with starfields cut by dark rifts of obscuring interstellar dust. The picture was taken by Astronaut Scott Kelly in August, 2015, the 135th day of his one-year mission in space.

#Airglow is a faint, natural emission of light in Earth's atmosphere that prevents the night sky from ever being completely dark.
It occurs when gas molecules, energized by solar radiation during the day, release that energy as a subtle, colorful glow.

#PhotoOfTheDay: #Aurora, Meet #Airglow
Two of Earth’s most colorful upper atmospheric phenomena, #Aurora and #Airglow, met just before dawn in this photo shot by an astronaut on the International Space Station (ISS).
Wavy green, red-topped wisps of aurora borealis appear to intersect the muted red-yellow band of airglow as the ISS passed just south of the Alaskan Peninsula.

#Airglow is a faint, steady emission of light from a planetary atmosphere, caused by atoms and molecules in the upper atmosphere releasing energy they absorbed from sunlight, primarily through photochemical reactions.
This phenomenon causes the night sky to never be completely dark, and unlike the aurora, it occurs at all latitudes and at all times, though it is often too dim to be seen without long-exposure photography
