This photo was featured by the Picasa team, so I guess I'll explain it a little. I'm in Andenes preparing for a sounding rocket experiment (part of my Ph.D. work), and went out last night with my camera hoping to catch some aurora. There was a little, but nothing really unusual. I figured it would be a good chance to at least figure out how to set the camera to get good shots. After a little while, the aurora started to brighten, and then almost instantaneously broke out into a huge storm. The photo doesn't show the red light as well, but there was a good mix of color, and a ring formed, expanded, swept across the sky and danced all around me. The storm only lasted about two minutes, and I was very fortunate to have been there to witness this show. I did get some other photos, so I'll try to put a few more up when I get a chance. I'll have some more too when I get up to Svalbard for the launch. Thanks, everyone, for the comments!
