AURORA AND A COMET
AUR-02-013

This photograph of a beautiful, flowing auroral display, taken on March 20, 2002 from a site near Wickersham Dome, north of Fairbanks, Alaska, also shows Comet Ikeya-Zhang.   The comet appears tiny because it's shot with a 24mm lens, but even at that, it's plainly visible to the lower left of the aurora.  M31―the Great Andromeda Galaxy―appears as a tiny elongated smudge just to the right of a star near the image's center.
