apod 3.1


This week's APOD is titled Aurora Dog over Alaska.This bright aurora seemed to be changing into the shape of a dog that jumps. It also seemed to ahve a curly tail. The astrophotographer John Chumack also captured the multitude of colors in this picture with a 15 second exposure through a wide- angle lens. If you scroll over the picture it reveals the different planets and constellations that are visible from this picture. You can see Mars, Betelgeuse, Big dipper, Jupiter, and much more.
