Auroral Rocket in Norway -- Photographers captured these digital photos of a four-stage Black Brant XII sounding rocket on December 12, 2010, during the NASA-funded Rocket Experiment for Neutral Upwelling (RENU). The rocket was launched from Andøya Rocket Range near Andenes, Norway, and carried instruments about 200 miles (320 kilometers) into the atmosphere to observe the aurora and the associated flow of heat, particles, and electromagnetic energy. The ground-based photograph of the rocket was taken by Kolbjørn Blix Dahle of Andøya Rocket Range.
