Sign in the sky
The aurora borealis is charged ions from the sun wind which are captured in earths magnetic field. Most of the wind is deflected but a little part is caught and pulled back in on the night-side of the earth and is visible at shining light as it falls through the atmoshpere. It can be seen with different colors at different altitudes but green is the predominant one.
On the northern hemisphere it is called aurora borealis or northern lights. This was shot near Tromsø in northern Norway a day with nice activity and relatively clear skies.
Can you spot any constellations in the stars which can be seen in the starlit sky here? The people who live in the small house in the bottom right would have seen a nice spectacle if they had been there.
You can see more scenes from various places in Norway in my Norway set.
You could watch this Large On Black since that brings out more details. My pictures aren't balanced for a white background.
