We present time averaged spectra of the extreme ultraviolet nightglow in the 350 to 1400-¿ range at 8-¿ resolution. The uplooking spectrum is dominated by geocoronal and interplanetary resonantly scattered solar lines (HI 1216, HI 1026, O II 834, and He I 584 ¿). The downlooking spectrum contains OI emission features from the nighttime ionosphere, including several previously unobserved features. In constrast to previously reported observations, no significant N2 Lyman-Birge-Hopfield emissions are evident in our data, and a 2-&sgr; upper limit of 135 R can be placed on this radiation for the time of our observations.
