The Lyα Sky as Observed by New Horizons at 57 au

During 2023 September the Alice ultraviolet spectrograph on the New Horizons (NH) spacecraft was used to map diffuse Lyα emission over most of the sky, at a range of ∼56.9 au from the Sun. At that distance, models predict that the interplanetary medium Ly α emissions result from comparable amounts o...
