A magnificent auroral curtain shines with the iridescent-like colors of mother of pearl as it slowly crosses the sky from west to east in this view looking north. Tall paralell rays, shaped by the Earth's magnetic field, reach into the distance above a stand of poplars. Denali State Park, Alaska. Jan 19 2003.
