Explanation:
Lights play around the horizon of this snowy little planet
as it drifts through a starry night sky.
Of course the little planet is actually
planet Earth.
Recorded on August 21, the digitally warped,
nadir
centered panorama covers nearly 360x180 degrees outside the
Amundsen-Scott South Pole
Station, Antarctica.
The southernmost research outpost is near the horizon at the top
where the light of dawn is approaching after nearly six months of darkness.
Along the bottom is the ceremonial pole marker surrounded by the 12 flags
of the original signatories of the Antarctic treaty, with a wild display
of the
aurora australis above.
