Beautiful @macbill
IMHO, the following image is by far the BEST image I have ever seen of Auroras...this is from A.P.O.D. I am also including the description that accompanied the image.
All of the other aurora watchers had gone home. By 3:30 am in Iceland, on a quiet September night, much of that night's auroras had died down. Suddenly, unexpectedly, a new burst of particles streamed down from space, lighting up the Earth's atmosphere once again. This time, surprisingly, pareidoliacally, the night lit up with an amazing shape reminiscent of a giant phoenix. With camera equipment at the ready, two quick sky images were taken, followed immediately by a third of the land. The mountain in the background is Helgafell, while the small foreground river is called Kaldá, both located about 30 kilometers north of Iceland's capital Reykjavík. Seasoned skywatchers will note that just above the mountain, toward the left, is the constellation of Orion, while the Pleiades star cluster is also visible just above the frame center. Image by Hallgrimur P. Helgason (that's a strong Viking name!)

The nuns are not going to the party, but they add to the Costume Party Vibe.
Hell even the lady with her back to the nuns could go as a Lab Tech!
Below... a double rainbow!

Aurora Australis from the ISS...and to the Flat Earther's, really?
That's hilarious, Vito.It seemed that everyone was having Bernie to their parties, and gatherings... so I invited him by for a session.
I had to do one myself with Pakaleo and Bernie.
Edit: Bonus Pakaleo feat. Xena
