A sounding rocket experiment set off a spectacular nighttime light show over Scandinavia as it produced new insights into ionospheric behavior near an aurora.
The Northern Lights rocket was launched from Esrange in the very north of Sweden and created a spectacular light phenomenon in the evening sky. The research will deepen knowledge of the aurora borealis and space weather.
