Abstract

Included in this draft report are discussions of papers on the night airglow and the twilight glow. Because of the fact that Commission 21 in collaboration with Commission 22 is sponsoring a colloquium in Honolulu on the Zodiacal Light and the Interplanetary Medium from 28 January to 2 February 1967, (one month after this draft report is due) it is planned to postpone definitive discussion of the zodiacal light, gegenschein and the integrated starlight until the time of the general assembly. We are omitting general discussion of the aurora except for some low and mid-latitude phenomena which have both airglow and auroral characteristics. Research reports based on work done in the Soviet Union have been reviewed by N. N. Shefov. His resumé is included as a part of the present report.
