No GeoTIFF is available for this photo.Image Caption: This view of the Aurora Australis or Southern Lights (location unknown) shows a spiked band of red airglow called a "Red Crown" above the Earth Limb. Calculated to be in the 80 - 120 km altitude region, auroral activity is due to exitation of atomic oxygen in the upper atmosphere by radiation from the van Allen Radiation Belts and is most common above the 65 degree north and south latitude range during the spring and fall of the year.
