APOD 3.4

February 13 2015
Aurora on Ice

This picture appealed to me because it is a beautiful picture while having multiple elements of mystery. The dark edges of the picture set the mood to be dark yet appealing. This adds in the element of mystery which is something that I always like. The picture shows a spherical picture that contains a green sky, or most likely green auroras over large and numerous chunks of ice. The comments under the picture states that the picture is a fisheye view from southeast Iceland. The comments include that the beach has black sand and is illuminated by a full moon with a halo. The post finishes by stating that the auroras are present due to the Earth's magnetosphere responding to a coronal hole in the Sun.
