Not from a snowglobe, this expansive fisheye view of ice and sky was captured on February 1, from Jökulsárlón Beach, southeast Iceland, planet Earth. Chunks of glacial ice on the black sand beach glisten in the light of a nearly full moon surrounded by a shining halo. The 22 degree lunar halo itself is created by ice crystals in high, thin clouds refracting the moonlight. Despite the bright moonlight, curtains of aurora still dance through the surreal scene. In early February, their activity was triggered by Earth’s restless magnetosphere and the energetic wind from a coronal hole near the Sun’s south pole. Bright Jupiter, also near opposition, is visible at the left, beyond the icy lunar halo.

🌌 這幅不是來自雪球的廣闊魚眼視圖,捕捉於二月一日,地點為位於冰島東南部的 Jökulsárlón Beach。 黑沙灘上的冰川冰塊在幾乎滿月的光照下閃閃發亮,月亮周圍環繞著明亮的光暈。這個22度的月暈是由高空薄雲中的冰晶折射月光而成。儘管明亮的月光依然耀眼,極光的光幕卻依然在這超現實的場景中舞動。在二月初,它們的活動受到地球不安的磁層以及來自太陽南極孔洞的能量風的觸發。亮眼的木星也在對峙時期中,隱約可見於冰冷的月暈左側。
