Bryce Canyon, Utah. The unusual pattern was created by atmospheric gravity waves, ripples of alternating air pressure that can grow with height as the air thins, in this case about 90 kilometers up. The colors are not from aurora, they are from a phenomena known as airglow and caused by chemiluminescence, the production of light in a chemical reaction. More typically seen near the horizon, airglow keeps the night sky from ever being completely dark.

One of the last arrivals of this year's southern hemisphere cruise-ship season docked in Montevideo today but pictured elsewhere.

The MSC Seaview is massive. It supposedly has a draft of 9 meters so it might go to Lewiston; not sure it could turn around though.
