       The night sky over a snowy tree-adorned landscape glows in green and   
         purple. The auroral glow might appear to some to be shaped like a   
        creature. Please see the explanation for more detailed information.

      Explanation: It was Halloween and the sky looked like a creature.   
      Exactly which creature, the astrophotographer was unsure (but possibly   
      you can suggest one). Exactly what caused this eerie apparition in 2013   
      was sure: one of the best auroral displays that year. This spectacular   
      aurora had an unusually high degree of detail. Pictured here, the vivid   
      green and purple auroral colors are caused by high atmospheric oxygen   
      and nitrogen reacting to a burst of incoming electrons. Birch trees in   
      Troms+., Norway formed an also eerie foreground. Frequently, new   
      photogenic auroras accompany new geomagnetic storms.
