Science can be beautiful.
Frozen Planet - Aurora Borealis
An Aurora Cupcake with a Milky Way Topping | APOD
This sky looked delicious. Double auroral ovals were captured above the town lights of Östersund, Sweden, last week. Pictured above, the green ovals occurred lower to the ground than violet aurora rays above, making the whole display look a bit like a cupcake. To top it off, far in the distance, the central band or our Milky Way Galaxy slants down from the upper left. The auroras were caused by our Sun ejecting plasma clouds into the Solar System just a few days before, ionized particles that subsequently impacted the magnetosphere of the Earth. Aurora displays may continue this week as an active sunspot group rotated into view just a few days ago.

A little use of Photoshop. ;)
All images taken by me. I have dozens of auroras from our trips to Norway.

Rainborealis in Kitdalen, Norway. It kinda looks like the entire town is about to be teleported to galaxy EGS-zs8-1 13 billion light years away.

A little while back I posted an illustration that was an experiment in style, depicting a moment from Northern Lights. I ended up liking the result well enough to want to expand it into a short sequence.

Good wood - I can almost feel the blissful calm under the northern lights. Spinn Arkitekter designed this shelter, which exists to encourage hiking in the mountains surrounding the town of Hammerfest, for the Norwegian Trekking Association.
Merry Christmas all!

In Finnish, Northern lights are called “Lights of the Fox”. It comes from the old beliefs, that says the lights come from the fox tail hitting the snow.
