1. Introduction
The National Institute for Fusion Science has begun research on "auroras" as one of its Advanced Scientific Research Collaboration activities. The aurora, which glows when plasma particles emitted from the sun collide with the atmosphere, is measured by a spectroscopic camera installed in Kiruna, Sweden. By providing not only observation data but also photos and videos about the aurora borealis, we hope to contribute to the education and development of plasma physics and other scientific fields, as well as to deepen understanding of the Institute's activities.
