The bright horizontal line is far ultra-violet emission (1216 angstrom) of hydrogen extending 10 degrees (40,000 miles) either side of Earth. The knobby vertical line shows several ultraviolet emissions from Earth's sunlit atmosphere, each 'lump' being produced by one type gas (oxygen, nitrogen, helium, etc.).
