Did you know.... Earth's Aurora is mainly green due to a high concentration of oxygen in the lower atmosphere. You can observe the presence of different atmospheric gas by studying a planets Aurora, if vissible. If you find earths northern lights fastening then check out Jupiters northern, southern lights! They seem to be never ending!
