APOD 2.6

As if the Aurora Borealis wasn't beautiful enough, taken through a long exposure shot over a pretty lake really adds to the sheer beauty, along with giving a glow to the entire area around it. But to further capitalize on it, the long exposure ended up capturing a Geminid Meteor, fireball specifically, go streaking across the sky. Tearing through the Big Dipper gave off a stunning and dramatic shot. Amazing what 30 seconds of exposure, charged particles in the magnetosphere, and absolute perfect timing can do and create.
