[00:00:00]This purple crown in the sky sits higher than any plane, mountain, or tower ever built. Auroras occupy a realm 60 to 1,000 km above Earth, far beyond where anything human-made can reach.

[00:00:17]They form when energetic electrons and protons from the sun slam into molecules in our atmosphere, [music] releasing light.

[00:00:26]From space, a full aurora appears as a glowing [music] ring around Earth's magnetic poles.

[00:00:33]This rare purple auroral corona was captured in 2004 above Harstad, Norway, [music] a reminder that Earth's most spectacular light show is powered by the sun itself.
