Image Caption: This view of the Aurora Australis or Southern Lights, in the 80 - 120 km altitude region, (location unknown) shows a spiked and sinuous band of red and green airglow above the Earth Limb and a charged plasma glow around the orbiter. Auroral activity is due to exitation of atomic oxygen in the upper atmosphere by 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.
