On the Cover

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.
