Well, it's another post about aurora borealis. There's no doubt that the aurora makes for a good picture. This one was photographed about two weeks ago at Willow Lake in Eastern Alaska. The exposure time was two hours and sixteen minutes. The photographer included a video of the time elapsed which is really really sweet, http://www.flickr.com/photos/pmalsop/5031146657/, and at about 55 seconds a shooting star is visible. So cool so cool so cool. The aurora occurs a few days after a powerful magnetic event on the Sun when charged particles from the magnetosphere collide with air molecules in the Earth's atmosphere. I just love the coloration of this image.
