A few still images from the sneaky-good aurora in the wee hours of this Fourth of July. The fourth image has a meteor in it.

Did you know that rainbows can also form at night?
This is the lunar rainbow or "moonbow".
It appears thanks to moonlight reflected by drops of water in the air, often near a waterfall or under a clear full Moon.
Rarer and paler than a classic rainbow, because the Moon is less bright than the Sun.
Our colleague Hélène is in Syria, where over 15M people need urgent assistance.
Among them, +2M children are out of school, as many schools are damaged, overcrowded or used as collective shelters.
The EU & @Concern provide children with recreational and educational support.
