Explanation:
Sometimes the sky lights up unexpectedly.
A trip to northern Norway to photograph
auroras was not going as well as hoped.
It was now past midnight in
Steinsvik,
Troms, in northern
Norway, and the date was 2014 February
8.
Despite
recent activity on the Sun, the skies were
disappointing.
Therefore, the astrophotographer began packing up to go.
His brother began searching for a missing lens cap.
When the sky suddenly exploded with
spectacular aurora.
Reacting quickly,
a sequence detailing dramatic
green curtains was
captured,
with the bright Moon near the image center, and the lens-cap seeking brother on the
far right.
The auroral flare lasted only a few minutes,
but the memory of this event, the photographer speculates, will last much longer.
