About it

An aurora is the glowing light that ripples across the sky near the poles, called the northern and southern lights on Earth. It happens when particles from the Sun are steered by the planet's magnetic field toward the poles and hit the gases high in the air, making them glow, mostly green, with pink and violet at the top.

This is the night side of an Earth-like world, its pole tipped toward you, with town lights below. Its curtains of light move all the time. Tap it to set off a storm of light: the ring flares, and a wider curtain bursts out toward the equator, then calms.
