The Big Dipper constellation and the Aurora Borealis, or Northern Lights, shine above a static A-10 Thunderbolt II in Heritage Park at Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska, on Sept. 18, 2004. The Borealis are the result of solar particles colliding with gases in Earth's atmosphere. Early Eskimos and Indians believed different legends about the Northern Lights such as they were the souls of animals dancing in the sky or the souls of fallen enemies trying to rise again. The 355th Fighter Squadron stationed at Eielson currently flies the Thunderbolt aircraft. (U.S. Air Force photo by SENIOR AIRMAN Joshua Strang) (Released) (SUBSTANDARD)

The objects in this collection are from The U.S. National Archives and Defense Visual Information Distribution Service. The U.S. National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) was established in 1934 by President Franklin Roosevelt. NARA keeps those Federal records that are judged to have continuing value—about 2 to 5 percent of those generated in any given year. There are approximately 10 billion pages of textual records; 12 million maps, charts, and architectural and engineering drawings; 25 million still photographs and graphics; 24 million aerial photographs; 300,000 reels of motion picture film; 400,000 video and sound recordings; and 133 terabytes of electronic data. The Defense Visual Information Distribution Service provides a connection between world media and the American military personnel serving at home and abroad. All of these materials are preserved because they are important to the workings of Government, have long-term research worth, or provide information of value to citizens.
