Aurora Borealis

Official Travel Stamp Vinyl Sticker
Charged particles from the Sun follow Earth’s magnetic field toward the poles, lighting oxygen and nitrogen high in the atmosphere. Best seen inside auroral ovals over places like Alaska, Canada, Iceland, and Scandinavia, they glow green around 60 to 150 miles up or flash red even higher. Their rippling curtains and coronas carry both space-weather science and centuries of Arctic storytelling.
