Explanation:
Active
pillars of colorful
aurora were
captured dancing over a serenely smooth and nearly colorless
Cape Cod Bay last month.
North is straight ahead so that
the town lights near the center originate from Provincetown,
Massachusetts,
USA.
The unusual
red colors in the aurora slightly reflect off the ocean inlet.
Several familiar constellations are visible in the sky, including the
famous stellar W of
Cassiopeia on the far right.
