NASA'S PICTURE FOR THIS DAY

“Waterfall, Moonbow, and Aurora from Iceland” is copyrighted by Stephane Vetter (Nuits sacrees). NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.

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.
