Aurora Borealis/Northern Lights

The photo on the right was taken on Monday. The skies near Talkeetna, Alaska are lit up by a display of the northern lights, or aurora borealis. An aurora appears when a magnetic solar wind slams into the Earth's magnetic field, exciting electrons of oxygen and nitrogen.

 

I'm reminded of the band, Renaissance, who had a hit with "Northern Lights" in the 70s:
