On top of Hawaii's volcano, Mauna Kea, clear skies enabled this astounding photograph to be captured.  In the bottom left hand corner, another volcano is visible as well as the dark and thin Mauna Loa in the center. The green air glow visible in the center is credited to the molecules that were excited from the Sun's energy during the day.
