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!
Shot in Lutsen, MN.
