What's the magical green glow that dominates the sky in this pic of ESO’s La Silla Observatory in #Chile? 🧐

Known as airglow, it's a faint light emitted by the Earth’s atmosphere and it is only visible in the darkest of places. The green glow here is caused by oxygen atoms, but it can also be red or yellow, depending on the type of atoms or molecules that cause them.

Question for people who study #neutrinos :

Do you have a preferred funny nickname for neutrinos? If not, here are some ideas:

- Neuts (newts)
- Rinos (ree-noes)
- Trinos (tree-noes)
- Nuterinos (like Ned Flanders would say)
- Neu-nues (new news)
- Neu-nos (new noes)
- Tri-tris (tree trees)

I would make a poll, but their are too many choices.
