It is proposed that the transition 3 Sigma+ u to 1 Delta g in oxygen (O2) is responsible for previously unidentified features in the nightglow from the earth's atmosphere and in observations of radiation emitted from recombining atomic oxygen in the laboratory. A Deslandres array showing calculated band origins for the system in O2 contains features clearly present in published nightglow spectra. The bands fall near a Condon locus which corresponds closely to that found for the Herzberg I system (3 Sigma+ u to 3 Sigma-g).
