      Bands are usually narrower, more twisty at the bottom, brighter, and more active than arches. Bands usually develop from arches.

      Bands can form J and U shapes, sometimes even full spirals. The corona can also arise from bands. Bands are a fairly common form of aurora.

Erikoinen tuo kirkas pilvi.On pohjoisessa Vaasasta katsoen. Onko Kiirunasta lähetetty joku raketti avaruuteen?

Kartalla havaintopaikka löytyi pohjoiselta Jäämereltä!?!
