CCD image of induced airglow in the upper atmosphere from an ionospheric modification experiment by the High-Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP). The emissions are from forbidden transitions in atomic oxygen colliding with electrons accelerated by a high-frequency radio beam from the HAARP transmitter in Alaska. [F. T. Djuth, T. R. Pedersen, E. A. Gerken, P. A. Bernhardt, C. A. Selcher, W. A. Bristow, and M. J. Kosch, Phys. Rev. Lett. 94, 125001 (2005)]
