APOD 3.4

In a stunning combination of a unique fish eye photo, a full bright moon with an aurora drifting through the sky, this photo from a black sand beach in Iceland is definitely a sight to behold. The ice on the black sand only acts as polished mirrors of the aurora above. This was a perfect combination of the Earth's magnetosphere and wind from a coronal hole near the Sun's south pole. Just beyond the moon's halo, Jupiter can also be seen.
