COSMIC MESSAGE
Three glows light up the Icelandic night sky: a green aurora, an orange volcanic eruption, and the Milky Way. The aurora is caused by solar wind particles hitting Earth's atmosphere. The orange glow comes from the Fagradalsfjall volcano, actively spewing hot gas. Above it all, the Milky Way arcs across the dark sky.
