lessrice replied to your photo: Iberian Peninsula aglow Hello, Spain and...

what is that peculiar yellow glow bordering the atmosphere/earth?

Excellent, excellent question.

The glow you see around the Earth in that picture (or any nighttime picture taken from orbit) is a phenomenon called "atmospheric airglow". Here's how it works:

During the day, short wavelength, high-energy radiation from the sun breaks atmospheric molecules into ions, like OH, N, O, Li, etc.

At night, when that energy subsides, the ions recombine, releasing photons in the process. The particular wavelength of light released depends on the ion, and the color depends on the wavelength.

In the picture of the Iberian peninsula, you are actually seeing green light emitted from oxygen atoms at about 100 km above the earth (the ISS is at about 350-400 km up). Below that are many more layers, some obscured by other colors, including the red glow from OH radicals at about 86 km up. 

One more piece of information to make looking at space photos that much more interesting.
