 the highest resolution version available.
This spectacular image shows an aurora over the small town of Svolvear in Norway. The photographers tried several days to take this picture until they finally got it, but the result is spectacular. Our sun is nearing its maximum surface activity in its magnetic cycle and thus is producing spectacular aurorae at this time.
