Aurora Shimmer, Meteor Flash
This picture appealed to me because it is very mysterious and beautiful. It is these descriptions as it is a dark picture with faint lights in the background. This post shows the northern lights, or aurora borealis, over a place in Norway. The wintery setting makes the picture a lot better. The comments say that the lights appeared for thirty seconds. Towards the top left of the picture a streak of light can be seen. That streak of light belongs to a fireball meteor from the Geminid meteor shower. The comments say that the Geminid meteor shower passes by the stars in the Big Dipper, but originates from the constellation Gemini. The post finishes by stating there will be a lot more meteors that appear in the remainder of 2014.
