Complete auroral oval over Earth 💚💜

Green and purple light wraps itself around Earth's polar region, and the auroral oval is the reason why. That glow sits above the atmosphere, not on it, which is the part that gets me every time. Watch the planet and the solar wind meet from orbit and you're seeing an exchange you'd never catch from the ground. A breathtaking sky show, and nature barely breaks a sweat putting it on 💚💜
