Iridium Flare and Skyglow

 

The bright streak of light in the sky here is an iridium flare, which is sunlight reflecting off a satellite. The green skyglow is a faint aurora, a luminous atmospheric phenomenon appearing as streamers or bands of light sometimes visible in the night sky in northern or southern regions of the earth. Gotta love science!
