A rare photo captured the Northern Lights and Milky Way in the same image. It was snapped by an amateur photographer, who also points out a third visual surprise -- a meteor streaking across the sky. It was taken in Ifjord, Finmark, Norway.

Definitely something you don't see every day. Really amazing.

That is pretty awesome. *nod* The green colour is unusual. The few times I recall seeing the Northern Lights I think they were more pinkish.
Is there a larger copy of that available? That would be an amazing desktop image!

That's one I got from Yahoo's site. I am sure there might be an original one. I'd imagine googling the photographer, perhaps?
- EDIT: Nevermind. The article doesn't name the photographer, only the location.

It's by Tommy Eliassen but that didnt help me find any larger ones than 600 by 600.
