Useful stuff
@VeroniqueB99 - useful info. Since it is a graphic with scientific background, giving very broad ranges in terms of height above ground (in tens of miles), there should also be an understanding that giving the equivalent distances in km should also be rounded to the nearest tens of km.
Giving the calculated values with "ones" and even "tenths" of km implies unwarranted precision.
@axel_hartmann I think the explanation is simple: it's a quick google equivalency and done.
@VeroniqueB99 @axel_hartmann Translation - they couldn't be bothered to worry about significant figures.

@VeroniqueB99

Oh, cool!

(I wonder why some nitrogen comes out purple & some blue?)

@VeroniqueB99
I'm excited. Are you?
@GatekeepKen yeah!!! Pics have been spectacular so far...

You may have noticed from the pics last night, that most did not have green. High latitude more likely to have some green. Low latitude more likely to be only pink-red.

@SpaceLifeForm correct, that's why I like this infographics, cuz I had seen NL before and always greenish hues... that one was PINK so I was wondering...
