Description

Wild airglow is reflcted on Crater Lake. One of the first places I went to shoot the night sky when I moved to Oregon was Crater Lake National Park. While there was no aurora borealis on this night I did catch this crazy airglow which is a faint luminescence of Earth’s upper atmosphere that is caused by air molecules’ and atoms’ selective absorption of solar ultraviolet and X-radiation.
