                           Astronomy Picture of the Day   
      
       Discover the cosmos! Each day a different image or photograph of our   
         fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation   
                       written by a professional astronomer.

         The featured image shows a person standing in mountainous terrain   
       holding a light. Above are many sky icons including auroral arcs, the   
      arc of the Milky Way, a meteor, and the stars of the Big Dipper. Please   
                see the explanation for more detailed information.

      Explanation: Can the night sky be both art and science? If so, perhaps   
      the featured image is an example. The digital panorama was composed of   
      10 landscape and 10 sky images all taken on the same night, from the   
      same location, and with the same camera. Iconic features in the image   
      have been artfully brightened, and the ground nearby was artfully   
      illuminated. Visible in the foreground is the creative photographer   
      anchoring an amazing view from the rugged Lofoten Islands of Norway,   
      two months ago, by holding a lamp. Far in the distance are three   
      prominent arches: our Milky Way Galaxy on the left, while a   
      scientifically-unusual double-arced aurora is documented on the right.   
      A meteor is highlighted between them. Other notable skylights include,   
      left to right, the Andromeda Galaxy, the planet Jupiter, the star Vega,   
      and the stars that compose the Big Dipper asterism.
