Fantastic Aurorae
Posted in Astronomy at 8:04 pm on 3 October 2012
If you take a look at today’s Astronomy Picture of the Day it shows a fantastic aurora over Greenland. (The photo is credited to J C Casado. It has been overlaid with the outlines of the constellations in that part of the sky. The building in the forground is a farmhouse in Greenland.)
APOD describes this as looking like a goat’s head but for some reason it reminds me of Munch’s The Scream.
Click through to here and other fantastic aurorae are shown whose photos were taken on the same expedition.
