Night sky in Antarctica



Night sky in Antarctica

The aurora australis over the Dark Sector at Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station, Antarctica on June 3, 2008. The Dark Sector is so-named due to the absence of light and radio wave interference.

The bright spot above the ground shield in the foreground is Jupiter. The white streaks of light going up are the Milky Way. (Keith Vanderlinde/National Science Foundation)
