EIELSON AIR FORCE BASE, Alaska -- The Big Dipper constallation and the Aurora Borealis, or Northern Lights, shine above a static A-10 Thunderbolt 2 in Heritage Park at Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska on 18 September 2004. The lights are the result of solar particles colliding with gases in Earth's atmosphere. Early Eskimos and Indians believed different legends about the Northern Lights such as they were the souls of animals dancing in the sky or the souls of fallen enemies trying to rise again. A-10 Aircraft are currently flown by the 355th Fighter Squadron stationed at Eielson AFB.
