Majestic Northern Lights
I've never been lucky enough to see the Northern Lights - and this photo just makes me want to start the car running and just head on up right now.
The photo was taken on the island of KvalÃÅŸya, near TromsÃÅŸ, Norway, earlier this month.
It also captures the sudden flash of a fireball meteor from the Geminid meteor shower.

Daniel Smith - a long time ago, in a galaxy far away just north of Watford, Daniel fancied himself as a scientist but turned out to be the worst scientist since that bloke who mapped out all those canals on Mars that turned out to be scratches on his telescope's lens. Luckily, he is now not working on the Large Hadron Collider inadvertently creating a black hole that would swallow the world but is safely behind a desk writing this blog, bringing you the fantastical underbelly of nature... weird science.
