Explanation:
It was one of the most memorable auroras of the season.
There was
green light, red
light, and sometimes a mixture of the two.
There were multiple
rays,
distinct curtains, and even an
auroral corona.
It took up so much of the sky.
In the
background were stars
too numerous to count, in the foreground a friend
trying to image the same sight.
The scene
was captured with a fisheye lens around and above
Tromsø,
Norway, last month.
With the Sun becoming more
active, next year might bring even more
spectacular aurora.
