Waterfalls, Auroras, Comet: Iceland
A truly unique photograph, this image shows fantastic terrestrial landscape along with a bright array of stars, auroras, and even the comet PANSTARRS. It was taken in southwest Iceland near the Gullfoss waterfalls. The comet is visible just about the horizon in the left, and can still be visible in the sky from the north. The bright auroras were caused by a solar flare and powerful CME which occured two days before the image was taken.
