Rationale

No free use or Public Domain image known to show a picket fence of green rays stretching toward the horizon, captured from North Dakota, USA. Mirroring the green rays is a red band, somewhat rare in its own right. Lights from the cities of Bismarck and Mandan are visible near the horizon. Large sunspot groups indicate that activity from an active Sun is relatively likely, possibly causing other streams of energetic particles to cascade onto the Earth and so causing more auroras.
