STS099-355-024 (11-22 February 2000) -- Two separate atmospheric optical phenomena appear in this 35mm photograph captured from the Space Shuttle Endeavour. The thin greenish band above the horizon is airglow; radiation emitted by the atmosphere from a layer about 30-kilometers thick and about 100-kilometers' altitude. The predominant emission in airglow is the green 5577-Angstrom wavelength emission from atomic oxygen atoms, which is also the predominant emission from the aurora. A yellow-orange color is also seen in airglow, which is the emission of the 5800-Angstrom wavelength from sodi…
