APOD: Orion and Aurora over Iceland

 A beautiful shot, taken in Iceland by a photographer, who was described as adventurous for this photo of an aurora (sparked by energy particles from the Sun) filled sky.  That isn't the picture's only significant detail: the constellation Orion can be spotted in the background, left to the aurora. The stratovolcano Oraefajokull can also be seen in the foreground.
