Aurora Borealis (Norrsken)


Strong Sun activity gave a nice Aurora Borealis all the way down to northern Europe the night March 17-18, 2015. After midnight we quickly went out and managed get this photo by pure chance. Besides the nice Aurora Borealis also some stars were seen and using Stellarium we could identify the constellation Leo and the planet Jupiter. With "mouse over" this is indicated else the original photo is shown. If this do not work in your browser/mobile we show the annotaded picture further below.
