Science highlights from the Kjell Henriksen Observatory on Svalbard

The Kjell Henriksen Observatory (KHO) is the world’s largest optical observatory for auroral and airglow measurements, operated by the University Centre in Svalbard (UNIS). KHO is a unique site that lies underneath the dayside cusp, a funnel-shaped region where particles from the Sun can directly en...
