13999527 - This is a panorama of the ground and sky framing the badlands of Dinosaur Provincial Park,in the Red Deer River valley in Alberta,with the summer sky above filled with three dozen meteors from the annual Perseid meteor shower,of August 12,2023. The meteors all appear to be streaking away from the radiant point in Perseus at far left. The location is the upper viewpoint near the Park Entrance,and looking northeast to southeast. The lights in the valley below are from the campground and service centre. The one glaring sodium vapour light should be removed or at least shielded. The brightest hori13998834 - Auroral streamers or rays rather than curtains as part of the pulsating phase of the great equinox display of Northern Lights on March 23,2023. The rays have a strong vertical structure from precipitating electrons but were pulsing off and on rather than rippling. While the predominent colour is green,there is a lot of red and magenta mixed in. The rays appear to be converging up toward the magnetic zenith. This is looking south. Orion is at right.13998813 - A rich starfield in the constellation of Vulpecula the Fox,in the Milky Way,with a mix of nebulosity. At bottom is the Coathanger asterism of stars,aka Collinder 399,or Brocchi's Cluster. At top left is the emission nebula NGC 6820. Other dark nebulas from the Lynds Dark Nebula catalogue populate the field. The blue glow above the Coathanger is reflection nebulosity which does not appear to have a catlogue number. A small reflection nebula around the blue stars at right is van den Burgh 126. The small round red emission nebula at lower left is Sharpless 2-82. The yellow star at top right is An13998776 - A view of the great April aurora show of April 23,2023,looking to the south,with multiple curtains across the sky forming parallel ribbons from east to west at the zenith. Taken from home in southern Alberta,Canada. Dark clouds appear in silhouette in front of the higher aurora.13998578 - A nearly semi-circular rainbow that appeared briefly right at sunset so the warm lighting made the rainbow appear more red than usual and set amid red clouds,brighter within the rainbow than outside the bow.13998444 - An arc of a nearly semi-circular rainbow that appeared briefly right at sunset so the warm lighting made the rainbow appear more red than usual and set amid red clouds,brighter within the rainbow than outside the bow.13898577 - A lone observer gazes skyward at the start of a wonderful aurora display on March 6, 2016, as the curtains begin to appear and dance in the deep blue twilight. This was at the Churchill Northern Studies Centre, Churchill, Manitoba.13898127 - Our group of Learning Vacations tourists enjoy the start of a fine display of Northern Lights at the Churchill Northern Studies Centre, March 6, 2016. As curtains appear to the east, another array of curtains shines to the west behind them with a strong purple tint lighting the sky and ground. The Andromeda Galaxy sits amid the curtains.13999617 - The passage of the SpaceX G2-9 Starlink group at about 3:30 am on May 15,2023,with the satellite chain still bright five days after its May 10 launch from Vandenburgh Air Force Base in California. This is most of the group,though a bright leader satellite did pass by a minute prior following the same path. The satellites were predicted to be magntiude 3.0 but appear as bright as first magnitude stars. This is looking northwest toward the Big Dipper at top. The glow of morning twilight brightening the sky. The satellite train is traveling from left to right here,from southwest to north.

An arc of aurora is beginning to appear even in the twilight sky.13899885 - The Northern Lights begin to appear in the evening twlights, on a fine September Saturday night at Madeline Lake on the Ingraham Trail near Yellowknife. This is looking northeast toward Perseus, with the Pleiades rising.13898575 - A 300° panorama of an aurora from the Churchill Northern Studies Centre, in Churchill, Manitoba on February 26, 2022. This aurora was at Kp1 level (very low) and appeared only as featureless grey arcs to the eye. But the camera picked up unusual red colouration, and even some yellow-oranges, along with the more normal greens. The reds are odd for such a low-level aurora as the oxygen reds typically appear only when the aurora gets very active and energetic. The display did brighten more later this night when it took on the more classic green arcs, with occasional lower fringes of nitrogen pink13898079 - A dim aurora from the Churchill Northern Studies Centre, in Churchill, Manitoba on February 26, 2022.

It demonstrates how even dim displays (by Churchill standards) can still appear quite colourfull to the camera.13999319 - This is the Perseid meteor shower over the badlands of Dinosaur Provincial Park,in the Red Deer River valley in Alberta,with the summer sky above filled with about two dozen meteors from the annual shower on August 12,2023. The meteors all appear to be streaking away from the radiant point in Perseus at left,below the "W" of Cassiopeia. The meteor trails are shortest near the radiant point,as at that location they are coming at us head on. The Andromeda Galaxy is near centre.13848964 - Mineral deposits on a cliff face near the Yagul Caves appear to mimic the roots of the tree on the cliff top. Oaxaca, Mexico.13899934 - The Northern Lights, or aurora borealis, on the night of March 4/5, 2016 as seen and shot from the Churchill Northern Studies Centre near Churchill, Manitoba. This night the display got active only after 12:30, after being completely absent from the sky for the first half of the night and a Kp Index level of 0. Here, the auroral curtains appear in the west over the Churchill Northern Studies Centre.13897964 - The 2016 Perseid meteor shower, in a view looking north to the Big Dipper and with the radiant point in Perseus at upper right, the point where the meteors appear to be streaking from. I shot this on the peak night of the shower, August 11/12 after moonset so the sky was dark and in fact filled with bright airglow, appearing here as bands of green and yellow, mixed with a low-level aurora to the north as well. While it looks like the sky has artificial light pollution, the glows here are natural, from aurora and airglow.13885395 - Scenic view of a woman taking a picture with her smart phone, standing on a cliff-side slope in front of a series of waterfalls flowing from the craggy cliffs of the East Fjords, making her appear small against the vast landscape in front of her; East Iceland, Iceland13885392 - Scenic view of a woman standing in front of a series of waterfalls flowing from the craggy cliffs of the East Fjords making her appear small against the vast landscape in front of her; East Iceland, Iceland13885393 - Scenic view of a woman standing on a cliff side slope in front of a series of waterfalls, some above and below, flowing from the craggy cliffs of the East Fjords making her appear small against the vast landscape in front of her; East Iceland, Iceland13819197 - The northern lights appear above a river, Kiruna Municipality, Norrbotten County, Lapland, Sweden71193583 - Two Chinstrap penguins (Pygoscelis antarctica) appear to be holding hands on an iceberg, near Penguin Island, Antarctica71328105 - Local dancers appear in colorful costumes during a folklore performance in the lounge of the expedition cruise ship MS Bremen (Hapag-Lloyd Cruises), Manta, Manabi, Ecuador, South America71099062 - chimney of Lamma Power Station appear in backdrop of Jungle, Lamma Island, Hongkong, China, Asia71105356 - 'A male boat-tailed grackle (Quiscalus major) vocalizes to send signals to other birds.
