How cool is this picture?

A rare photo captured the Northern Lights and Milky Way in the same image. It was snapped by an amateur photographer, who also points out a third visual surprise -- a meteor streaking across the sky. It was taken in Ifjord, Finmark, Norway.

Definitely something you don't see every day. Really amazing.

That is pretty awesome. *nod* The green colour is unusual. The few times I recall seeing the Northern Lights I think they were more pinkish.

Is there a larger copy of that available? That would be an amazing desktop image!

That's one I got from Yahoo's site. I am sure there might be an original one. I'd imagine googling the photographer, perhaps?

- EDIT: Nevermind. The article doesn't name the photographer, only the location.

It's by Tommy Eliassen but that didnt help me find any larger ones than 600 by 600.

This one's by Esther Havens: a pileus irredescent cloud over Ethiopia.
