Waterfall, Moonbow, and Aurora from Iceland

NASA APOD · Stephane Vetter (Nuits sacrees)
COSMIC MESSAGE

This Icelandic scene captures the Skogarfoss waterfall, a moonbow, and the aurora borealis. The moonbow is formed by moonlight illuminating water droplets from the waterfall, not by sunlight on rain. The aurora's colors, caused by solar particles interacting with Earth's atmosphere, complete this rare convergence of light phenomena.
