This is an image of the sky above Lake Storsjön, in Sweden, on the autumnal equinox. The picture is centered on the zenith overhead, with the lake horizontally adjacent to the camera along the edges. The milky way is prominently visible in the sky, running east to west, and along the left-hand side of the horizon, an aurora is visible. Fall is a good time to observe auroras because of an increase in magnetic storms.
