Alerted to conditions ripe for aurora, photographer Stan Richard recorded this apparition over Saylorville Lake, near Des Moines, Iowa, USA. While the colorful rays seem to end just above the water, they are actually at altitudes of 100 kilometers or more. Courtesy of NASA.

awesome colors.. we've been spoilt by technology.. i immediately thought, which filters has the photographer used?
For my honeymoon my husband surprised me with a trip to Alaska - in March. Brrrr. Despite the bitter cold (it was below zero every day of our trip), I was able to dog sled and witness the most beautiful spectacle ever. The aurora borealis. The colors we witnessed were mostly green, but it was a breathtaking sight. This is beautiful...
I sometimes wonder if that is what heaven looks like. It's so beautiful!
