Airglow over Mount Gongga, Sichuan, China
Green and yellow airglow (centre) and Milky Way (right) over Mount Gongga in Sichuan, China. Airglow occurs in Earth's atmosphere as sunlight interacts with the atoms and molecules within it. The Milky Way is our galaxy seen from the inside. It appears as a hazy band of stars and nebulae stretching across the sky. Photographed on 29 October 2019., by JEFF DAI / SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY
