This was toward the end of the main activity of the show for me this night, at about 2:20 am.

The Jasper Sky Tram adds the lights on Whistler Peak. Bands of airglow tint the sky with red. Lights from the Jasper townsite, still mostly unshielded sodium vapour lights as of 2022, add the skyglow at left. Altair is the bright star at top. The red Lagoon Nebula is just setting behind the mountain skyline. The slight wind rippled the water enough to prevent a perfect reflection.71436570 - Castillo d'39; Acher with dark red rock bands, Valle de Hecho, Huesca, Pyrenees, Aragon, Spain71429206 - View across Edinburgh Castle Esplanade with lightshow and The Massed UK Military Bands performing at the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo 2022, Edinburgh, Scotland, United Kingdom, Europe13999548 - This is a 180° panorama of the night sky over the hoodoo formations of Bryce Canyon National Park,Utah,at Sunset Point. The panorama extends from the northeast (at left) where the autumn Milky Way is rising,to the southwest (at right) where the summer Milky Way and galactic core in Sagitarius are setting. This was October 11,2023. The most notable feature is the prominent arc of green airglow bands across the eastern sky,a natural sky phenemenon. Perseus is at left in the Milky Way. At top at left is the Andromeda Galaxy,M31. Below it is the blue Triangulum Galaxy,M33. Jupiter is the bright ob13900291 - The northern summer Milky Way setting over the mountains of Waterton Lakes National Park, Alberta, Canada, with warm golden lighting supplied by the rising waning Moon (behind the camera) illuminating the landscape and sky in a “moonstrike” effect. Taken on September 21, 2019, in frames taken as part of a time-lapse. Faint bands of red airglow tint the sky, though the blue sky colour is from the moonlight. This is taken during the lunar “golden hour.”13897968 - A 360° panorama of the landscape and skyscape at Grasslands National Park, Saskatchewan, Canada, taken August 25, 2014. The Milky Way arches overhead from south to north at right, and the last vestiges of twilight light the western sky at left, providing a natural backdrop for the silhouette of the photographer gazing wistfully into the distance! Some green bands of airglow also light the sky, but only a few farm lights from outside the boundaries of the Park mar the landscape in this darkest of Dark Sky Preserves in Canada. I shot this from the Eagle Butte Loop Trail at the end of the 70 Mile13846625 - Bumble bees are social insects that are characterised by black and yellow body hairs, often in bands.

I shot this Aug 26 on a perfect night, with aurora beginning to kick up but still low in brightness when I shot this so the sky was dark. The foreground is lit by starlight, by the aurora brightening in the north, and by the occasional flashes of spotlights from naturalists down the valley spotting for nocturnal ferrets. The green bands in the sky are from natural airglow.13897964 - The 2016 Perseid meteor shower, in a view looking north to the Big Dipper and with the radiant point in Perseus at upper right, the point where the meteors appear to be streaking from. I shot this on the peak night of the shower, August 11/12 after moonset so the sky was dark and in fact filled with bright airglow, appearing here as bands of green and yellow, mixed with a low-level aurora to the north as well. While it looks like the sky has artificial light pollution, the glows here are natural, from aurora and airglow.71410514 - Africa, Namibia, Namib Desert, Namib-Naukluft National Park, Sossusvlei.
